  • The Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program is a key VA initiative for preventing and rehousing homeless veterans.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine lessons learned from the first decade (2012-2022) of the SSVF program.
  • To identify key features of the SSVF program that contribute to its success.
  • To explore the applicability of SSVF strategies to the general homeless population.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of annual reports and relevant literature from the SSVF program.
  • Identification of emergent themes in SSVF service delivery.
  • Qualitative assessment of program strategies and outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • The SSVF program successfully reached nearly 750,000 veterans and their families in its first decade.
    • Three core themes emerged: responsiveness and flexibility, coordination and integration, and social resource engagement.
    • These strategies facilitated comprehensive support for homeless veterans and their families.

    Conclusions:

    • The SSVF program's success provides a potential roadmap for addressing homelessness.
    • Key features of SSVF can inform strategies for the general population.
    • Further research is needed to adapt and apply these findings broadly.
