Housing Support for Veterans

[This is important relayed information, received today. Homeless Veterans should certainly look into benefiting from a housing-support program the government provides. While the 'early' dates on the schedule, below, have past, there is still time for veterans to get to an application-preparation meeting.]

The Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Veterans Affairs Supported Housing (HUD-VASH) Program, through a cooperative partnership, provides long-term case management, supportive services and permanent housing support. VASH recipients receive a permanent rental subsidy through “Housing Choice” section 8 vouchers in conjunction with long term supportive services to foster stability and recovery from physical and mental health issues, substance use, and functional concerns contributing to or resulting from homelessness. To be eligible for this program, Veterans must be VA Health Care eligible, homeless and income-eligible. Requires participation in long-term case management services.
