SUPPORTIVE SERVICES FOR VETERAN FAMILIES
SERVING THOSE WHO SERVED
The Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program is designed to provide a range of services to address barriers to stable housing for low-income Veterans who are at imminent risk of or currently experiencing homelessness.
Supportive services are available to eligible Veterans and other members of the household based on an assessment of their needs and individualized housing stability plan. Case managers work with participants and match unmet needs with resources both internally and externally. This is achieved through the provision of services that may include but are not limited to: intensive case management support, community resource engagement twith medical and mental health, veteran benefits, andlegal issues; limited temporary financial assistance, housing search assistance, and financial sustainability planning and referrals. Follow up and retention services are available to participants to provide sustainability. All applicants will be screened for eligibility criteria and willingness to participate in program functions.
