Where it applies
Applies in states and territories.
SSVF is a VA grant program run through local nonprofit and public agencies. It offers rapid rehousing to a veteran family that has become homeless and homelessness prevention to one at imminent risk, with case management, help finding housing, and temporary financial assistance for rent, security deposits, utilities, moving costs and child care.
A household qualifies when a member is a veteran, its income is very low as 38 C.F.R. part 62 defines it, and it is homeless or about to be.
Find the local SSVF grantee through VA's homeless programs site or the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at 877-424-3838.
