About Services for the UnderServed (S:US)
Reintegration to civilian life is the toughest challenge veterans face. This is true for those who served decades ago or in recent conflicts. Seventy percent live with chronic mental illness and substance use disorders. Of the 2,000 veterans and their families we serve, most satisfy the federal guidelines for “very low-income.” We are among NYC’s largest veterans’ services providers. In addition to serving veterans with the greatest barriers to independence and a full community embrace, we serve the needs of veterans at the highest risk of suicide due to the effects of chronic homelessness and unemployment, untreated PTSD, and disconnection from their families and a variety of social supports.
Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) — New York City and Long Island
SSVF aims to improve very low-income veteran families’ housing stability by rapidly re-housing veterans who are currently experiencing homelessness. The program also offers homelessness prevention assistance to eligible veteran households. Core services include case management, outreach, housing counseling, income and benefits services, housing search and placement assistance, and multiple other supports that empower program participants to meet their housing stability goals. We tailor our services utilizing a “Housing First” model to assist veteran participants to identify, secure and maintain permanent housing that meets their needs and preferences.
Employment Services
Employment is key to helping low-income veterans rise out of poverty into rewarding careers in various industries. Our Veterans Employment Services serves over 100 veterans each year. This program provides job training, placement, and on-the-job support, emphasizing finding employment solutions for veterans of every service era, recently returning service members, and those interested in training and new careers. Primary client referral sources include local colleges and universities, VA Medical Centers, the NYC Department of Homeless Services shelter system, Veterans Service Organizations, community-based organizations serving veterans, as well as housing providers.
