The agency provides housing services for homeless veterans, or veterans who are at imminent risk of losing their housing, and their household members in the Santa Clarita Valley area. Services include housing search assistance, personal financial counseling, prejob guidance, rental deposit assistance, rent payment assistance, and undesignated temporary financial assistance.

The Operation Healthy Homecoming program promotes housing stability among very low-income veterans and veteran families through the Supportive Services For Veteran Families program (SSVF Program). The veteran family needs to be sustainable once the program support is terminated.

Housing search assistance services include assistance in locating affordable, permanent housing, housing advocacy, and housing counseling.

Job search/placement services include referrals to vocational training and employment opportunities as well as resume writing and skill set assessment.

Personal financial counseling services include money management counseling.

Rental deposit assistance services are also available to homeless veterans and can include some move in costs, as well as first and last month rent.

Rent payment assistance services are available to veterans who are at imminent risk of eviction. This is a short term service and can include up to two months rent.
