Housing Programs

HUD-VASH: Housing for Veterans

The HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) program combines Housing Choice Voucher rental assistance with case management and clinical services provided by the VA. This program is designed to help homeless veterans achieve permanent housing.

How HUD-VASH Works

  • VA provides healthcare and case management services
  • HUD provides rental assistance vouchers
  • Veterans pay 30% of their income toward rent
  • Ongoing support to maintain housing stability

We work directly with the VA to help eligible veterans apply for and access HUD-VASH vouchers.

Success Stories

Veterans We've Helped

Real stories from veterans who found stability and support through our programs.

James T.

U.S. Army, 12 years | Vietnam Veteran

"After being homeless for three years, I didn't think anyone could help me. Solid Ground not only found me housing through HUD-VASH but helped me get my VA disability claim approved. I'm now in my own apartment and receiving the benefits I earned."

Maria R.

U.S. Navy, 8 years | OIF/OEF Veteran

"When I got out of the Navy, I struggled to find work and ended up losing my apartment. The team here helped me with emergency housing, job training, and getting my VA healthcare set up. They gave me a second start."

Robert M.

U.S. Marine Corps, 6 years | Desert Storm

"The transportation assistance alone was a lifesaver — getting to my VA medical appointments was impossible without a car. They went above and beyond to make sure I could get the care I needed."

David W.

U.S. Air Force, 10 years | Gulf War Era

"I was skeptical at first — I'd been burned by other organizations. But Solid Ground actually delivered. They helped me get my discharge upgraded and connected me with education benefits. Now I'm in college studying for a new career."
