VETERANS WELCOME
ARE YOU HOMELESS?
Homeless veterans are classified in these categories. Do you fall into one of these?
Literally Homeless
Ex. You (individual or family) are living on the streets or in a public or private place that is not meant for habitation, you are in a shelter or transitional home, or you are in an emergency/temporary placement.
Homeless (under Federal Statues)
Ex. You (25 years or younger or a whole family) have not had a permanent residence (a lease or home ownership) for 60 days, have persistent homelessness prior to the 60 days, and can be expected to continue in such status for an extended period of time without our assistance. This includes "couch surfing" where one does not have a permanent residence of his/her own, but living with friends/relatives, and /or bouncing around from place to place.
Imminent Risk of Homeless
Ex. You (Individual or family) who will imminently lose their primary nighttime residence within 14 days, and no subsequent residence has been identified, and you lack the resource or support needed to obtain other permanent housing.
