Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF)

Supportive Services for Veteran Families

Housing instability can create tremendous stress for veterans and their families.

Maumee Valley Guidance Center’s Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program helps eligible veterans and veteran families who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of losing their housing.

MVGC provides SSVF services in Defiance, Fulton, Henry, Paulding, and Williams Counties.

Our team works individually with each veteran household to identify barriers, establish a housing plan, and connect the family with resources that can help them achieve or maintain stable housing.

Assistance may include:

  • Housing stability planning
  • Case management
  • Assistance locating appropriate housing
  • Coordination with landlords and community agencies
  • Connection with VA benefits and other veteran resources
  • Assistance accessing public benefits
  • Employment and income resources
  • Transportation resources
  • Health care and behavioral health referrals
  • Legal and community resource referrals
  • Temporary financial assistance for eligible households
  • Rapid rehousing assistance
  • Homelessness prevention services

Financial assistance is based on program eligibility, individual need, and federal program requirements.

You Don’t Have to Be Living on the Street to Ask for Help

Veterans who are behind on rent, facing eviction, staying temporarily with others, living in an unstable situation, or experiencing homelessness are encouraged to contact us.

Our staff can help determine whether your household may qualify for SSVF services.
