S1EP18: On Homeless Prevention and Rapid...

This month, we are joined by Nikki Barfield, deputy director for VA’s Supportive Services for Veteran Families, or SSVF, Program. Ms. Barfield talks with us about what the program is, how their new Shallow Subsidy service helps rent-burdened Veterans, and how Veterans in need can get connected for help.

Veterans who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness are strongly encouraged to contact the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at (877) 4AID-VET (877-424-3838) for assistance.
