Are there any benefits for veterans who are homeless?

Yes, there are benefits for veterans who are homeless in California. Veterans may be eligible to receive housing and healthcare services from the Veterans Administration (VA). VA housing support services include temporary housing and housing subsidies to help veterans find permanent housing, as well as supported services such as case management and mental health services. Additionally, veterans can take advantage of the VA health care system, which offers medical and mental health services such as primary care, specialty care, and outpatient services, as well as innovative care models such as telehealth and mobile health care. The State of California also offers veterans specific programs designed to help prevent and end homelessness. The Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program assists low-income veteran families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless in obtaining and maintaining permanent housing by providing a range of services, including case management and financial assistance. The State also operates an Emergency Housing Program for Homeless Veterans, which provides temporary housing and services to homeless veterans. Veterans who are homeless can also access benefits from other government agencies such as the Social Security Administration, which offers cash and medical assistance for veterans who are disabled, aging, or have a limited income. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provides assistance through the HUD-VASH program which provides housing choice vouchers for veterans and their families. Additionally, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides food assistance for eligible veterans.
