The Housing and Urban Development-VA Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) program is a joint federal initiative that pairs Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) rental assistance from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) with VA case management and supportive services. These services are designed to help homeless Veterans and their families find and sustain permanent housing and access the health care, mental health treatment, and other supports necessary to help them improve their quality of life and maintain housing.

Tribal HUD-VASH

Tribal HUD-VASH, a subset of the program which provides tribes or Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHE) rental assistance grants through HUD’s Office of Native American Programs (ONAP), specifically supports American Indian and Alaskan Native Veterans on or off tribal lands.

Program reach

In total, HUD has awarded over 116,000 HUD-VASH vouchers (including Tribal HUD-VASH rental subsidies) since 2008.

It operates in all 50 states plus Guam, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.
