What this program is
HUD-VASH helps veterans and their families who are homeless find and keep permanent housing. Veterans get a Section 8 rental voucher that helps pay for a place to live. VA case managers can also connect veterans with other supportive services.
Who can get it
You can qualify for HUD-VASH housing help if you:
- Served in the active military for any amount of time, and
- Do not have a dishonorable discharge or a discharge from a general court-martial
Heads up
- You must contribute 30% of your monthly income towards rent. The voucher will cover the rest.
- You must re-certify each year to keep your housing voucher.
- Case management is an important part of the program, and you will need to participate.
How to apply
Call the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at 877-424-3838. They will connect you to your local VA homeless program for a referral to HUD-VASH.
