How to get a HUD-VASH housing voucher

HUD-VASH combines a rent voucher from HUD with a VA case manager. It helps veterans who are homeless move into a stable home and stay there.

What you may need

Step 1: Start with the VA, not the housing office
HUD-VASH vouchers come through a VA referral. Ask your VA homeless team or social worker about HUD-VASH.
Step 2: Meet with a VA case manager
The case manager checks if you qualify and helps you apply to your local public housing agency.
Step 3: Find a place to rent
The voucher pays part of your rent to a landlord who accepts it. Your case manager can help you look.
Step 4: Keep working with your case manager
You will keep getting support to stay housed and connect with health care and other services.
