Supportive Services for Veteran Families
Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) grants provide housing stability services to low-income Veteran families who are experiencing homelessness or are at imminent risk of experiencing homelessness through compassionate and responsive services.
About the Program
The Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) grant launched by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) during Fiscal Year 2012 in response to concerns regarding homelessness and housing instability among Veterans. For more than a decade, SSVF has been an innovator in providing trauma-informed services that are flexible and Veteran-centered to meet the individual housing needs of Veterans and their families. The program is aimed to quickly rehouse Veterans who were literally homeless and to prevent Veterans from becoming homeless. A combination of rapid re-housing and homelessness prevention services offers Veterans a wide range of opportunities to secure and retain permanent housing.
