SUPPORTIVE SERVICES FOR VETERAN FAMILIES  (SSVF)

SSVF providers offer a range of short-term service with a focus on case management, assistance in obtaining VA and other public benefits, and possible time-limited payments to third parties (landlords, licensed child care providers, etc. of these payments help Veterans families stay in housing.
