HCHV   2

Background
Ending homelessness among Veterans was established as a national priority by the Department of Veterans Affairs in November 2009 at the National Summit on Ending Veterans Homelessness. The Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) program is an essential and critical part of VHA, providing a gateway to VA and community-based supportive services for eligible Veterans who are homeless. The HCHV CERS Program exists to provide a means of removing homeless Veterans from the street or habitation unfit for humans and placing them in community-based, residential environments with sufficient supportive services to meet their basic needs and ultimately, facilitate the improvement of their overall health status and housing situation.
