Santa Fe County Housing Authority Board Receives Vouchers for Veterans Assistance Supportive Housing Program

Santa Fe, NM – November 14, 2014 – The Santa Fe County Housing Authority Board would like to notify residents they have received nine Veterans Assistance Supportive Housing (VASH) program vouchers. The VASH program is a supportive housing program in partnership with the Veterans Administration facility in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and VASH program combines HUD housing choice voucher rental assistance for chronically homeless veterans with case management and clinical services provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs at its medical centers in the community.

The Veterans Administration facility will refer all eligible HUD-VASH families to the Santa Fe County Housing Authority. All interested veterans must contact the Veterans Administration in Santa Fe to verify if they meet all qualifications.
