Supportive Services for Veteran Families
Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) utilizes the Housing First approach by helping the veteran (individual or family) meet their primary need of housing, while addressing barriers to housing stability. Eligible veterans who are literally homeless or at imminent risk of becoming homeless may be eligible for limited financial assistance for housing and related costs.
Veterans Crisis Line: If you’re a Veteran in crisis or know a Veteran who is, confidential support is only a phone call, click, or text away — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The Veterans Crisis Line, online chat, and text-messaging service are free to all Veterans, even if you are not registered with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or enrolled in VA health care. Hundreds of Veterans call us daily, and start to get back on track.
