SUMMARY:Part 1 - Housing and Urban Development-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH): An Overview
DESCRIPTION:Materials Posted\nPowerPoint Presentation | Webinar Recording \nPermanent supportive housing has been identified in both the Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness and the Ending Veteran Homelessness Initiative as a critical resource for ending homelessness. Within VA\, HUD-VASH is the primary service that provides permanent supportive housing. Through collaboration with HUD\, HUD-VASH provides Housing Choice Vouchers designated to participating Public Housing Authorities (PHA) to assist with rent payment. VA provides clinical case management and services to assist Veterans obtain and sustain permanent housing while also assisting Veterans with access to treatment and other supportive services that promote their quality of life and full reintegration back into their communities. \nHUD-VASH operates on the Housing First principles and is intended to target and care for the chronic and most vulnerable homeless Veterans. Housing First is an evidence-based approach based on the premise that housing is a basic human right and does not have prerequisites such as sobriety or clean time. It prioritizes housing\, then assists individuals with access to health care and other supports that promote stable housing and improved quality of life. \nThe primary goal of HUD-VASH is to move Veterans and their families out of homelessness into permanent supportive housing while promoting maximum Veteran recovery and independence in the community. A key component of the program is VA’s case management services. These services are designed to assist Veterans in obtaining and sustaining permanent housing and engage in needed treatment and other supportive services that improve the Veteran’s quality of life and end their homelessness. Because Veterans experience homelessness for a variety of reasons\, case management is individually tailored to meet the needs of each HUD-VASH Veteran. \nThis webinar\, the first in a two part series that will provide information to community providers on housing services available to Veterans who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. The webinar will provide an overview of the HUD-VASH program including who is eligible for services and how to make a referral for a Veteran to be assessed for admission. There will also be information on how HUD-VASH vouchers are allocated and the difference between tenant-based and project-based HUD-VASH vouchers.

SUMMARY:Rural America is Losing its Affordable Rental Housing
DESCRIPTION:HAC’s New Report from HAC Examines the Maturing Mortgage Crisis \nA Crisis. The increasing lack of affordable housing is not just an urban problem. Rental housing options in rural America are not only sparse\, but also declining. An important source of housing in many rural communities are rental homes financed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Today there are over 13\,000 USDA rental properties providing more than 415\,000 affordable homes to families and individuals across rural America. No new USDA direct-financed rental housing has been developed in years\, and the existing properties are increasingly losing their affordability provisions restrictions. The impacts of this trend are problematic for rural renters and communities. \nA Platform for Preservation. The Housing Assistance Council conducted a comprehensive assessment of USDA’s multi-family housing investments to better understand this issue and inform strategies that preserve this resource for rural communities and residents. \nPlease join HAC for the release of RENTAL HOUSING FOR A 21ST CENTURY RURAL AMERICA A Platform for Preservation. \nWHEN: Thursday September 6\, 2:00 – 3:30 PM EDT
