The Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program provides services to very low-income veterans who are homeless or face potential homelessness. Feel free to download the SSVF brochure (Click Here). Basic eligibility requirements:
- – Must be a veteran who served active duty in the U.S. military

Note: Different criteria apply to those who only served in the reserves.
With the support of the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs we provide short, intensive Case Management and Temporary Financial Assistance (TFA) to address a host of factors that affect the housing stability of veteran families (joblessness, limited income, disability, mental illness, credit/budget issues, etc.) and link veterans to the following services:
