What information do you need from me?

To get you or, you and your family started, we need a few things when you come into our office. If you have any questions please, give us a call so we can work together. Our goal is to help you find the services you need.

• State ID/Veteran ID for veteran and/or family members

SSVF provides services for 

• SSVF “Traditional” Homeless services
• SSVF Prevention services (Limited)
• SSVF Shallow Subsidy
  Shallow Subsidy provides long-term rental assistance to eligible low-income Veteran households at risk of homelessness. This program offers fixed rental support for up to two years allowing Veterans to maintain stability while building financial independence.
• Rapid Resolution
  Rapid Resolution helps Veterans quickly identify safe, alternate housing options—like staying with family or friends—before entering the homeless response system. By resolving a housing crisis early, the program prevents homelessness and supports short-term stability.
• Returning Home
  Returning Home provides homeless Veteran households the opportunity to relocate to communities where they have established connections—such as family, friends, or familiar surroundings—or to areas that offer greater housing stability and access to employment opportunities.
• Voucher Fast
  Voucher Fast accelerates the process of using HUD-VASH and other housing vouchers by helping Veterans quickly locate units, complete paperwork, and navigate housing barriers. The goal is to minimize delays and ensure Veterans can move into permanent housing as swiftly as possible.
