Improving the lives of Tampa Bay’s Veterans and their families

The SSVF Program, funded by the VA, provides a range of supportive services to:
  • help homeless veterans to move into permanent housing.
  • help veterans with low income who are at imminent risk of becoming homeless to obtain stable housing.

For more information, or to determine if you qualify, please call us. You can be pre-screened over the phone. Walk-ins and referrals are welcome.

If you have served in the U.S. Military, you may be eligible for SSVF assistance even if you don’t qualify for VA Healthcare.

We understand veterans, and we know how to help.
