1. How it Works
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.
- 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.
