Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF)
The Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program is funded by the United States Department of Veteran Affairs and is administered through A Safe Haven Foundation to provide supportive services for low or very low-income veteran families residing in or transitioning to permanent housing.
This program provides case management and supportive services to prevent the imminent loss of a Veteran’s home or identify a new, more suitable housing situation for the veteran or his or her family; or to rapidly re-house veterans and their families who are experiencing homelessness and might remain homeless without this assistance.
The program’s goal is to help participants to exit to a permanent housing destination, to maintain or increase income and/or employment, and to be connected to veteran benefits.
You May Qualify If:
- You are a veteran or a veteran family member
- Your income does not exceed 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI)
- Your housing status is in one of the following three categories:
- You reside in housing and lack the ability to pay all of your bills
- You are currently homeless or at risk of being homeless
- You have left permanent housing within the last 90 days to seek other housing that better meets your family’s needs or preferences
