Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH)
The Long Beach Housing Authority is honored to offer the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) program to veterans in our community. VASH is a collaborative initiative between the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to provide stable housing and support to military veterans who may be experiencing homelessness or housing instability.
The 2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act allocated $75 million in funding for the HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) voucher program, authorized under section 8(o)(19) of the United States Housing Act of 1937. The HUD-VASH program is a collaborative effort that combines HUD's Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) rental assistance with comprehensive case management and clinical services provided by the Veterans Affairs (VA) at its medical centers and within the community.
Generally, the HUD-VASH HCV program follows the standard HCV program requirements. However, the Act grants HUD the flexibility to waive or modify any statute or regulation it administers in connection with this program. This flexibility enables us to effectively deliver and manage HUD-VASH voucher assistance.
The Housing Authority is partnering with the Long Beach Veterans Administration Medical Center to administer the VASH Program.
