The funding for this program is primarily provided through a VA- Supportive Services for Veterans Family (SSVF) Grant and provides rent and/or utility assistance (among other services) to prevent, or end homelessness for Veteran families. Each household receives ongoing in-home case management, focusing on ensuring long-term housing stability. We are currently successfully implementing our fourth year of a federal VA-SSFV grant providing supportive services for veteran families as described above. 243228 139937 Our Veteran's Transitional Housing Program provids housing and in-home supportive case management services to 6 homeless. Social workers provide in-home case management, with a focus on building the veteran's skills, resources, and income. Program participants are provided budgeting/financial management assistance, housing stability plans, job search assistance, employability readiness training, and housing search and placement services for exiting program participants. The assumption behind Veteran's transitional housing programs is that if households receive long-term, intensive assistance with resolving issues that lead to homelessness before entering permanent housing, they are better enabled to have improved long-term housing outcomes. 0 0 Our emergency homeless shelter houses the literally homeless veteran.
