Our Housing Services recently added Housing Stability Services for Veterans—a supportive, comprehensive program designed to help veterans and their families find and maintain stable housing, and create pathways to a secure and thriving future.

Why This Program Matters

The road to stable housing can be particularly tough for veterans and their families. Whether facing homelessness, at risk of losing housing, or struggling to maintain stability, many often encounter barriers like limited access to mental health services, employment challenges, social isolation, navigating community services and support resources, among others.

Our Comprehensive Approach

Our services are tailored to meet veterans and their families where they are, ensuring they have the support they need.

Outreach and Engagement: Our trained outreach specialists link veterans and their families to resources and services, assist with emergency aid and help with essential daily needs like food, hygiene supplies, and basic living necessities. Our outreach services also emphasize mental health and wellness by connecting veterans with resources for counseling, group support, and substance use support if needed.

System Navigation: Navigating the maze of veteran-specific resources can be daunting. Our system navigators simplify this process, guiding veterans and their families to access housing, healthcare, employment benefits, and more. Through personalized case management, we help veterans and their families build sustainable plans for their futures.

Key Services We Provide

• Housing Stability Counseling: Education on tenant rights, budgeting, and mediation with landlords to prevent evictions.
• Financial Assistance: Support with rent arrears, utility payments, and deposit fees to help secure and maintain housing.
• Employment and Career Navigation: Connecting veterans to job training programs and career counseling.
• Health and Wellness Support: Access to mental health services, substance abuse programs, and comprehensive healthcare.
• Community Resource Connections: Assistance with food, legal services, transportation, and childcare to address overall stability.

Who Benefits from This Program?

Any veteran, or family of a veteran who has served at least one day is eligible for services. Our System Navigation Program is specifically tailored for those not yet connected to existing veteran services. The goal is simple: create a seamless experience for veterans or veteran families seeking support.

Filling Critical Gaps

While there are many services available for veterans, navigating them can be overwhelming. Our program addresses this by providing holistic support, including direct outreach, case management, financial assistance, and counseling. We bridge the gap between needs and resources, empowering veterans and their families to move toward stability with confidence.

A Community Effort

This program would not be possible without our strong partnership with King County and funding from the Veterans, Seniors, and Human Services Levy (VSHSL). Our collaborative approach with local government, nonprofits, and community organizations strengthens the safety net for veterans and their families.
