Veterans FIRST Supportive Services for Veteran Families

It is better to stop homelessness before it starts. Our Supportive Services for Veterans Families program (SSVF, for short) helps those at immediate risk of homelessness side-step it altogether. If you or your family is homeless or at-risk of homelessness anywhere in NH, please contact us or call NH211.

How It Works

Our SSVF case managers and outreach staff work with veterans and their families across New Hampshire to make sure they have secure housing and the supports necessary to maintain housing. We offer:

  • Housing counseling.

  • Assistance with benefits, such as those offered through the VA.

  • Referrals for health care, and legal services, and financial planning.

  • Financial assistance to support case management goals.

  • Connection to other Veterans FIRST and other Harbor Care services, including veteran transitional and supportive housing, if appropriate. 

With funding from the US Department of Veteran Affairs, we serve hundreds of households throughout NH each year.

CARF® International is an independent, nonprofit accreditor of health and human services. Accreditation: Advancing service excellence through a consultative peer-review survey process that affirms conformance to evolving, international consensus standards.
