The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration awarded $1.86 million to Family & Community Services Inc. under the Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (SSVF Program, CFDA 64.033) on October 1, 2022. The SSVF Program aims to provide supportive services grants to organizations assisting very low-income veteran families residing in or transitioning to permanent housing.

Family & Community Services Inc., doing business as Center Of Hope, will use the funding to deliver a range of supportive services including outreach, case management, assistance obtaining VA and other public benefits, temporary financial assistance paid directly for expenses like childcare and housing stability needs, and optional services such as legal assistance and financial management training. These services will help very low-income veteran families maintain stability as they secure and sustain permanent housing.
