UPDATE: HUD-VASH/SSVF Collaborative Case Management Guidance Updated

The National HUD-VASH and SSVF Program Offices have developed updated guidance regarding Collaborative Case Management.  This guidance should assist communities to understand and work towards collaborative case management models, versus traditional and allowable co-enrollments between HUD-VASH and SSVF.  Please review the revised documents to assess local needs and collaborations that will support Veterans with access to permanent housing within your communities.  If you have additional questions, please contact your Regional Coordinator.
