Veteran Community Housing

VCHC community services offer support and temporary financial assistance to veterans and their families. The support services program assists veterans and veterans with families obtain or sustain housing, VA benefits, health care, employment, and public benefits.

Through this program VCHC is able to rapidly rehouse a veteran who has been evicted. We work with utility companies to prevent utility shut-off. If the veteran is evicted, this program provides assistance with securing a new home and support services to help them maintain it. Serving veterans in Saratoga, Warren, Washington, Fulton, Montgomery, Schoharie and Schenectady Counties. 

Temporary financial assistance can be provided for rent, security deposits, and utility costs if the Veteran qualifies. Other assistance can be provided to help the veteran maintain their employment.

To be eligible for this program an individual must provide a DD214 (release papers from the military) that shows their discharge was not dishonorable. In addition, they must be homeless and qualify within the financial assistance guidelines.

(Veterans Administration Supportive Housing)

VCHC partners with the Stratton VA to assist veterans in need of housing assistance and case management services.

Who is eligible for this assistance? 

All veterans (singles and families) who meet the federal definition of homelessness, were honorably discharged, and are determined by the Stratton VA to need case management services in order to obtain and sustain their housing.

Homeless veterans receive a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher from HUD that is coupled with case management and clinical services provided by the VA. Eligible individuals and veterans are identified by VA.

Participation in this program is dependent on the availability of vouchers.
