Supportive Services for Veteran Families
The Veteran Administration’s goal for the SSVF program is to promote housing stability among very low income veteran individuals and families who reside in or are transitioning to permanent housing. We provide supportive services designed to resolve the immediate crisis and promote housing stability.
Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) provides assistance to low-income veterans and families to help with their housing situation. We have been assisting veteran families since 2013 through case management, referrals, and financial services.
The SSVF program is implemented by Family & Community Services, Inc. in Geauga, Lorain, Portage, Mahoning, Medina, Stark, Summit, Trumbull, and Ashtabula counties in Ohio. SSVF is funded and monitored by the VA and is supported by Homeless Continuums of Care.
