  2. Stats • Santa Clara County has among the highest number of unsheltered veterans in the nation • 63% of homeless veterans in our County are unsheltered. • There are over 700 homeless veterans in the county and 71% were living in the county when they became homeless. • There are 260 veterans today with federally subsidized Veteran’s Affairs Supportive Housing vouchers in our County who can’t find housing. • 23% of homeless veterans are experiencing homelessness for the first time.

  3. Two Ways To Rent • 1) Supportive Services to Veterans and Their Families • VA funded program to 4 local nonprofits • Case Management Includes: Job training programs and job placement, accessing VA benefits, housing search • Shorter Program: Temporary financial assistance includes rent, child care • Fast • 2) Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Voucher

  4. FAQ • Can I rent to market rate tenants? Yes! If you have an affordable apartment or room to rent, let us know and we can share it with our nonprofit partners who help house homeless veterans. • I’m interested in renting to Veteran Section 8 clients. Who are HUD-VASH tenants? Individuals and adult families who meet the federal definition of homelessness, were honorably discharged and are receiving on-going case management from their local VA. • How long does the program last? All tenants must be annually re-certified to ensure they meet income eligibility requirements and they maintain the voucher as long as they stay income eligible, receive ongoing case management from the VA and do not violate Section 8 restrictions. • What is the rental payment amount I’ll receive? • What are the next steps? Contact Maya Esparza to be connected to a HUD VASH veteran today!
