Contact Us
There is no VA disability requirement to be eligible for our program. Financial requests are made by the case manager on behalf of the veteran receiving assistance, within the guidelines and limitations of each program. Eligibility for emergency financial assistance is determined based on financial need, on a case-by-case basis. In the event you do not qualify for our SSVF program, we will make every effort to connect you to other available resources.
