Vermont Veterans Committee on Homelessness
This committee is charged with identifying systemic approaches to address veteran-specific housing needs. The Chairperson of the Vermont Veterans committee on Homelessness (VVCH) will serve as the Chair of this committee (or a representative of the VVCH in the Chair’s stead). The committee will make recommendations to the Steering Committee on Veteran issues and offer the Steering Committee recommendations for
resolution. The committee will remain in effect after full implementation to monitor progress on Veteran related issues and to offer changes as needed. A primary focus of the committee is to end veterans’ homelessness as part of a national federal initiative involving four federal partners; Health and Human Services (HHS), Housing and Urban Development (HUD), United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH), and the Veterans Health Administration (VHA).
The Veterans Committee’s collaborative work is guided by the following Criteria and Benchmarks for Achieving the Goal of Ending Veterans Homelessness.
The Committee has quarterly meetings to assess and improve upon the homeless assistance system in Vermont for Veterans and bi-monthly meetings for case conferencing.
