Heartland Human Care Services' Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program is funded by the United States Department of Veteran Affairs and is administered through Heartland Human Care Services to provide supportive services for low or very low-income veteran families residing in or transitioning to permanent housing. The services are designed to increase the housing stability of veterans and veteran families who are at risk of or experiencing homelessness. Homeless veterans (and families) are placed into scattered-site apartments in the city of Chicago or Cook County with independent landlords. The SSVF program is able to provide temporary financial assistance directly to the landlord based on the needs of the veteran household. Participants at risk of homelessness are provided with financial assistance to ensure they can remain in their current housing (usually rental payments). All participants are offered employment services and receive intensive case management, housing location/inspection services, and referrals to other services such as clinical, education, and legal services. This program serves 220 veterans and their households annually.
