HUD-VASH Assistance
A_HUDVASH

Covid-19 has hit the United States hard and some of our most affected members are those who have already sacrificed the most for us. Veterans and their families are weathering the brunt of the financial crisis and health crisis this pandemic has created across the country, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development along with the Department of Veterans Affairs are here to help our veterans suffering from homelessness. 


The HUD -VASH Program

Through the HUD-Veterans Supporting Housing (HUD-VASH) Program, veterans will be able to receive clinical services at local VA hospitals and be referred to local housing agencies. Assistance is given out in the form of a voucher for the veterans to use in the private housing market. Over 46 million dollars have been allocated to this program. The HUD-VASH Allocations chart, at the end of this article, will show you how much money has been allocated to your local area. This program is designed to support veterans at risk of homelessness or currently experiencing homelessness through both rental and housing assistance. Veterans will normally not have to pay more than 30% of their income for housing. The program is already having an impact in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area where over 80 vouchers have been awarded to secure veteran housing. 


Receiving Assistance Through the Program

In order to take part in the program veterans need to go their local VA hospitals to receive a clinical assessment before being referred to a housing agency. There are a limited number of vouchers and decisions are based on the duration of homelessness, as well as the amount of support needed to obtain permanent housing. 


Additional Information and Resources

Homelessness is real threat today in the United States with 20 to 40 million Americans are currently at risk of being evicted in January of 2021. There are resources available to mitigate this threat and if you or anyone you know could benefit from this program please reach out.
