Housing For
Heroes
A CARF Accredited SSVF Program that NCHP provides in Southern Arizona.
Connecting Veterans to Housing and Hope
Housing for Heroes is our Veteran-centered housing support program, proudly serving Maricopa, Yuma, and Pinal Counties. Reaching more than 200,000 Veterans across Arizona, this initiative has been impacting our communities since 2012.
Funded through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program, Housing for Heroes is designed to assist Veterans and their families experiencing homelessness or at risk of losing their housing.
Through compassionate, one-on-one case management, we help veterans regain stability, secure safe and permanent housing, and build a foundation for long-term success.

NOT SURE IF YOU QUALIFY?
Complete our intake form, and we'll help you determine your eligibility. If you don't meet these criteria, we will connect you with other local resources that may be a better fit.
Support for HUD-VASH Recipients
If you are a recipient of the HUD-VASH (Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing) program and have not received SSVF deposit assistance within the past two years, you may be eligible for support through our SSVF program.
​
Both HUD-VASH and SSVF are federally funded to support veterans in securing stable housing. We work closely with local HUD-VASH case managers, often referring clients between programs to ensure comprehensive care.
​​
-
HUD-VASH provides the housing voucher and case management.
-
SSVF can cover the security deposit and assist during the housing search.
-
Once housing is secured, HUD-VASH handles ongoing rent payments.

WE'VE GOT YOUR SIX.

Housing Assistance
Funds may be available and applied to establish or secure housing once a case manager helps the client develop a sustainable housing plan.
Benefit Acquisition
Our case managers can help clients apply for and pursue qualifying benefits such as VA medical assistance or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. They will also help clients acquire necessary paperwork to participate in this and other VA programs.
Utility Assistance
As part of our efforts to secure or establish housing, we can offer temporary assistance with utilities, once a case manager helps the client develop a sustainable housing plan.
Transportation
Transportation is available to assist eligible clients in completing their sustainable housing plan.
Job Assistance
Vocational Specialists are available in Pinal and Yuma counties to help those who need it find and prepare for job opportunities.
Homeless Outreach
Our National Community Housing program employees work hard trying to contact those in need of our services by coordinating with other organizations working with homeless populations and going to where homeless populations congregate.
Temporary Housing
Funds may be available to assist those homeless families in need of immediate temporary housing.
Budgeting
As part of our efforts to secure or establish housing, we help clients establish a sustainable housing plan with a manageable budget based on the client’s needs and resources.

Yuma Office
Miguel is a lifelong resident of Yuma County. He started employment with NCHP in 2015, when they were known as Border Health Foundation. He currently serves in various community organizations, like the Somerton City Council, Yuma Metropolitan Planning Organization, Somerton Education Inc and the Yuma Coalition to End Homelessness. He says the SSVF program is a life changing program for those Veterans that may be at a low point in life, so it is an honor to be able to provide that assistance.
