RMHS Homes for All Veterans

Homes for All Veterans (HAV) is funded by a specific grant - SSVF (Supportive Services for Veteran Families) awarded to Rocky Mountain Human Services by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA). The SSVF grant is founded on the principle that no Veteran should be forced to live on the streets and every Veteran has a right to safe, permanent housing. SSVF grantees are dedicated to ending Veteran homelessness by fostering a well-coordinated and efficient local community system that assures Veteran homelessness is rare, brief and non-recurring. To support these efforts HAV provides outreach, case management, and support accessing community and mainstream resources to more than 1,000 Veteran households each year who are experiencing literal homelessness or in danger of homelessness throughout the state of Colorado. 

Services include assistance with:

  • Homelessness prevention
  • Housing referrals
  • Short term case management for the Veteran and his/her household members
  • Navigation of complex benefits systems
