The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) awarded a $1,378,125 Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program grant to the United States Veterans Initiative (U.S.VETS), a non-profit organization, on October 18, 2024. The SSVF Program provides grants to private non-profit organizations and consumer cooperatives to coordinate and deliver supportive services to very low-income veteran families who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or transitioning to permanent housing.
Under this grant, U.S.VETS will provide outreach, case management, assistance in obtaining VA and public benefits, and temporary financial assistance for housing-related expenses such as rental payments, utilities, security deposits, and moving costs. The organization may also offer optional supportive services like legal assistance and financial management. These comprehensive services aim to help very low-income veteran families secure and maintain permanent housing, reintegrate into the community, and achieve long-term stability.
