Personal Financial Counseling

Personal Financial Counseling ( Veterans, At Risk for Homelessness )

Provider: UNITED STATES VETERANS INITIATIVE - LONG BEACH

The agency provides housing services for homeless veterans, women veterans with families or veterans who are at imminent risk of losing their housing, and their household members in Los Angeles County. Services include housing search assistance, personal financial counseling, job search/placement, rental deposit assistance, rent payment assistance, and undesignated temporary financial assistance. There are no geographic restrictions.

Services promote 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.

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.

Temporary financial assistance services provide emergency funds and can be used for back owed utilities or deposits, or emergency supplies. The agency will give the financial assistance directly to a third party, not the veteran.

The Women with Children program can accommodate women vets with up to two children who are 12 and under. APPLICATION PROCEDURE Call to apply for services.
