Health Care for Re-entry Veterans (HCRV)
Most Veterans who are in jail or prison will eventually reenter the community. VA’s HCRV program is designed to promote success and prevent homelessness among Veterans returning home after incarceration.
HCRV services include:
- Outreach and pre-release assessments services for Veterans in prison
- Referrals and linkages to medical, mental health, and social services, including employment services on release
- Short-term case management assistance on release
VA may not provide medical services that are provided by correctional institutions
