Supportive housing for homeless veterans
Veterans Affairs Supported Housing (HUD-VASH) | U.S Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD), U.S Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
1. How it Works
HUD-VASH helps veterans and their families who are homeless find and keep permanent housing. Veterans get a Section 8 rental voucher that helps pay for a place to live. VA case managers can also connect veterans with other supportive services.
You must contribute 30% of your monthly income towards rent. The voucher will cover the rest.
You must re-certify each year to keep your housing voucher.
Case management is an important part of the program, and you will need to participate.
2. Determine your eligibility
To be eligible for HUD-VASH, you must:
be eligible for VA health care.
be homeless.
have income within the program guidelines.
be willing to receive case management from the VA.
