Unsheltered Surge Toolkit

Home for the Holidays: A Toolkit to Support Unsheltered and Housing Surges

The VA Homeless Programs Office Toolkit to Support Unsheltered and Housing Surges guides VA Health Systems in planning and implementing local Unsheltered or Housing Surge events as part of the national effort to end Veteran homelessness. It outlines expectations, best practices, and resources to help sites build on the momentum of the Getting Veterans Off the Streets (GVOTS) initiative and ensures every Veteran has access to safe, stable housing. 

We’re here anytime, day or night – 24/7

If you are a Veteran in crisis or concerned about one, connect with our caring, qualified responders for confidential help. Many of them are Veterans themselves.
