SSVF stands for Supportive Services for Veteran Families. Our program serves low-income veteran families who are either in danger of experiencing homelessness or already experiencing homelessness. The program reaches veterans and their immediate family members living on the streets and prevents evictions.
Goodwill’s SSVF Program offers what is called Rapid Rehousing (RRH). The National Alliance to End Homelessness defines rapid re-housing as “short-term rental assistance and services. The goals are to help people obtain housing quickly, increase self-sufficiency, and stay housed. It is offered without preconditions (such as employment, income, absence of a criminal record, or sobriety), and the resources and services provided are typically tailored to the needs of the person.” Goodwill’s SSVF program also provides case management, housing search, temporary financial assistance for rent, legal services, and the Shallow Subsidy service. The service offers a subsidy of 50% rent for up to 24 months for eligible veterans. A shallow subsidy offers more modest rental support over a longer period than traditional Rapid Rehousing. Veterans in need can contact Goodwill’s SSVF program via phone, on www.Goodwillit.org, or by walk-in.
