Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF)

Our Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program

A proactive approach to helping veterans and their families with immediate support when facing homelessness.  We provide rapid re-housing to homeless veterans in addition to keeping veteran households from losing their housing when they are facing eviction.  Our first priority is to either assist the family in remaining in their current housing, or, if they are homeless, to quickly locate and help them secure affordable housing.  To accomplish this, we assist in the housing search; provide access to emergency housing when possible in the interim; intervene with landlords; provide support and case management services that can include assistance with medical care, mental health or substance abuse treatment, child care and job training.  Temporary financial assistance may also be available to help with such expenses as security deposits, back rent, utility payments or bedding and household essentials.

Delivering a rapid response has proven essential to meeting the needs of veterans and their families, especially those we have rescued from living in shelters, emergency motels, their cars or the woods.
