Housing Assistance for Veterans

Yesterday the Teamsters fed a homeless man that was wandering the streets in front of the Los Angeles Times Production Facility at 2000 East 8th Street.

Beyond Shelter has a new housing assistance program for Veterans, Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF), and is looking for referrals of Veterans with housing problems (i.e. homeless or facing eviction), who, can benefit from a program offering short-term financial assistance and other supportive services designed to promote housing stability. Veteran families with children – whether homeless or at risk of eviction – are eligible for financial assistance now, provided they meet income and other program guidelines, same with single Veterans who are homeless. Single Veterans who are at risk of eviction are eligible for financial assistance starting in October 2012.

The program is open to Veteran households, either renting or homeless, in Los Angeles County. Contact: Luis Valdovinos, lvaldovinos@beyondshelter.org, (323) 232-9000 Ext. 218, for specific eligibility criteria and referral instructions.
