The CBI Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) is an initiative of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to promote housing stability among very low-income Veteran families who reside in, or are transitioning to, permanent housing. The VA partners with Community Bridges, Inc. and other community-based organizations and local non-profit agencies across the United States to provide rapid rehousing, rapid resolution, and homeless prevention services through evidence-based practices and case management strategies to achieve housing stability.
The CBI SSVF is a Housing First program and is a part of our commitment to provide resources that support the stability and advancement of all Veterans. Through our array of services, we hope to enrich our communities by providing solutions to homelessness, unemployment, and mental health crisis.
