Veteran is defined as a person who served in the active military, naval, or air service, and who was discharged or released there from under conditions other than dishonorable.

SSVF can accept several forms of Veteran identification, and may ask other Veteran service providers to verify Veteran status. SSVF case managers can help you request your DD-214.

The program is intended to be a brief intervention and connection to long-term support if needed. Case Management can continue an extended period of time until necessary supports for housing stability are in place.

The Homeless Veteran Coordinated Entry System is a list of homeless veterans in your community. This list is populated through information from outreach, HMIS, shelters, VA-funded programs, and any other providers in your community who may work with veterans experiencing homelessness. The list is updated regularly in order to ensure it has the most up-to-date information on veterans in your community. The Homeless Veteran Coordinated Entry System is not a waiting list – veterans on this list may already be accessing programs, waiting for a housing unit, or may self-resolve their homelessness – it is a list meant to give the key partners involved in ending veteran homelessness in your community a solid understanding of the people (not just the numbers) that need to be re-housed at any given time. It is a very important tool in your efforts to end veteran homelessness. The list is used at regular veteran-focused coordination/case conferencing meetings to determine where veterans are in your homeless assistance system, who needs to be prioritized, and what needs to be done and what barriers needs to be removed to get them into housing, and who is responsible for each person.
