HUD-VASH Program for Homeless Veterans: Landlord's
**HUD-VASH Program** Hello, everyone! I would like to share something that is very important to me: addressing the issue of shelter for homeless veterans. Many people may not have heard of the HUD-VASH program, as it often receives minimal attention. It’s joint with HUD and the Veterans Affairs. However, if you are a landlord or know someone who is, I encourage you to look into this program, as it aims to provide housing for homeless veterans and their families. Participants are vetted by a Case Manager before enrolling in the program, ensuring that rents are paid at fair market rates for the area. Since the program's implementation, over $1 trillion has been allocated to support these efforts. If you are interested, please get in touch with your local VA office. The Department of Veterans Affairs has offices in every state; therefore, please check with your local veterans' office for more information. Let's join together in spreading the word about this important mission! Links: https://www.va.gov/homeless/landlords.asp Example of Questions: Q: How does the rent get paid? A: With both HUD-VASH and SSVF, a portion of the monthly rent is paid by the Veteran based on their monthly income. While the Veteran is enrolled in HUD-VASH, the remainder of the rent is paid by the local PHA. While the Veteran is enrolled in SSVF, the remainder of the rent is paid by the SSVF grantee.
