Supportive Services for Veteran Families
serving veterans experiencing homelessness
The Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that, on one single night in January of 2011, 67,495 Veterans were homeless and living on the streets of the same nation that they had dedicated their lives to serving.
Funded by the Department of Veterans Affairs, the SSVF ('Support Services for Veteran Families') Program was founded upon the principle that every Veteran has a right to housing.
By providing support at a community level we can end homelessness among the Veteran population. Through the provision of outreach, case-management services, assistance in obtaining benefits and emergency financial resources, the SSVF Program seeks to prevent Veterans and their families from becoming homeless and to rapidly rehouse those who have lost their homes. It is the intention of Volunteers of America Colorado Branch to break the cycle of homelessness among Colorado's Veteran population.
Program participants must be veterans (defined as having served at least one day of active service, which can include basic training) in any branch of the service, must not have a dishonorable discharge and must be below 50% of the average median income for the county in which they reside. Participants must be either literally homeless or at imminent risk for losing their housing.
Note: Other eligibility criteria may apply depending upon program requirements.
