The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program has awarded a $2,448,632 Project Grant to Eastern Carolina Homelessness Org, Inc. (ECHO), a non-profit organization in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This grant, awarded on October 7, 2024, will enable ECHO to provide a comprehensive range of supportive services to very low-income veteran families who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or transitioning to permanent housing.
The SSVF Program's purpose is to assist these vulnerable veteran families by funding outreach, case management, benefits assistance, and temporary financial aid for housing-related expenses such as rental payments, utilities, security deposits, and moving costs. In addition to the required services, ECHO may also provide optional legal assistance and financial management support. Through this federal grant, ECHO will coordinate these critical services to help veteran families in the Myrtle Beach area achieve housing stability and self-sufficiency.
