The Housing and Urban Development-Veterans Affairs Supported Housing (HUD-VASH) program is aimed at providing supportive housing assistance to homeless Veterans and their families.
To be eligible for this program, the Veteran must be currently homeless or imminently homeless (documented as being homeless within 14 days), meet financial eligibility guidelines established by HUD for the region, have a case management need and be willing to participate in on-going case management services.
This innovative project promotes a team approach to ending homelessness: the Veteran works with his public housing authority case worker and his VA case manager to actively address the issues that impaired his/her ability to maintain stable housing. In turn, the VA offers case management support and community resources to actively address those issues and the public housing authority offers rental assistance in the selected, eligible unit chosen by the Veteran.
The encompassing goal is to help the Veteran obtain AND maintain stable housing for his/her household.
