SSVF: Supportive Services For Veteran Families
Are You a Homeless Veteran? Do you have an eviction notice? Supportive Services For Veterans Families (SSVF) is a Veterans Administration (VA) funded Case Management program for homeless veteran families and at-risk veteran families. Supportive services grants have been awarded to selected private non-profit organizations and consumer cooperatives, that will assist very-low-income veteran families residing in or transitioning to permanent housing. Grantees will provide a range of supportive services to eligible veteran families that are designed to promote housing stability.
SSVF provides intensive short term case management services and assistance in looking for affordable housing units, as well as providing educational programs, including financial literacy and budgeting. They also provide resources to find both public and federal benefits, aid in job searches, make referrals to community resources, and potentially even financial assistance – which is based on need and availability, and determined on a case by case basis.
Eligibility for this program includes:
- 1 day of active duty (If national guard or Reserves, must have been activated under presidential orders)
- Under 50% area median income (AMI) for your county (Income qualify)
- Discharge must be anything other than Dishonorable or Bad Conduct by General Court Martial
- Veteran household must be homeless or have an eviction notice
Required Documentation:
