Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF)

St. Vincent de Paul Society in Dayton provides Supportive Services for Veteran Families, serving low-income Veteran households who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, and/or transitioning to permanent housing.

Our dedicated staff provide case management, outreach, resource connection, health navigation, and more to help Veterans and their families achieve stability and greater opportunities for growth. This work is accomplished in collaboration with a wide network of community partners across three Continuums of Care in 16 counties, including 12 Ohio counties (Allen, Auglaize, Champaign, Clark, Clinton, Darke, Greene, Mercer, Miami, Montgomery, Preble, Shelby) and 4 counties in Indiana (Wayne, Fayette, Franklin, Union).

Eligible households may receive temporary financial assistance and ongoing individual and family support including:
Housing counseling • Personal financial planning • Healthcare referrals •  Childcare assistance • Legal aid • Transportation • Daily living needs

Eligibility Requirements:

• Be a member of a “Veteran family”: Either (a) a Veteran, or (b) a member of a family in which the head of household, or the spouse of the head of household, is a Veteran.
• Have very low-income (household income does not exceed 80% of area median income).
