The Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) has made the elimination of homelessness among veterans a top priority. VA's "no wrong door" philosophy will ensure homeless Veterans and Veterans at risk of homelessness will have timely access to appropriate programs and services. Informing the public about the availability of assistance for Veterans is essential to the success of this initiative. If you encounter a Veteran who is homeless or at risk of homelessness, strongly encourage him/her to make the call. Assistance is also available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year via online chat link at https://www.va.gov/homeless/outreach.asp

(SSVF) Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) provides outreach and case management service to improve housing stability by providing supportive services to eligible Veteran families residing in or transitioning to permanent housing. Supportive Services include housing search assistance, landlord mediation, and temporary financial assistance. SSVF also provides information and referrals to assist participants with obtaining VA benefits and other public benefits, which may include health care services, personal financial planning services, and legal services.
