HOMELESS VETERANS PROGRAMS | VA CENTRAL IOWA HEALTH CARE

Offers a variety of services to address the full range of housing needs Veterans may have. Services include:

Prevention services such as Supportive Services for Veteran Families that keep Veterans from becoming homeless.

Residential services such as the Health Care for Homeless Veterans Contracted Residential Services or Grant and Per Diem programs provide temporary placement, in the form of emergency or transitional housing, for Veterans who need a place to stay right now.

Permanent housing services such as the Supportive Services for Veteran Families and HUD-VA Supportive Housing, or HUD-VASH, programs connect Veterans to affordable housing in their communities. These services come with either short or long-term rental subsidies, case management, and varying levels of wrap-around supportive services to ensure that Veterans have all the necessary resources to stay housed.
