Cape and Islands Veterans Outreach, Housing and Homelessness Prevention Program?
The SSVF Program is a federally funded initiative to prevent and eventually eliminate veteran homelessness.
It provides temporary financial assistance in the form of both rental arrears to prevent homelessness as well as first month and security deposits to veterans who are already literally homeless. It can also assist temporarily with funding of certification and educational programs, fuel assistance, vehicle repair, and childcare if alleviation of these expenses can be shown to directly support housing stability.
