Meeting The Needs Of Our Community
SSVF PROGRAM
Supportive Services
for Veteran Families
For very low-income Veterans, SSVF provides case management and supportive services to prevent the imminent loss of a Veteran's home or identify a new, more suitable housing situation for the individual and his or her family; or to rapidly re-house Veterans and their families who are homeless and might remain homeless without this assistance.
SERVICES FOR OUR VETERANS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
Are you a Veteran who is homeless or experiencing housing instability?
​
If you are a Veteran who is homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness, we strongly encourage you to contact MTOC at 340-714-7782
No Veteran should be without a place to call home.
MTOC is committed to ending homelessness among Veterans in the Virgin Islands. Our focus is threefold:
-
Conducting coordinated outreach to proactively seek out Veterans in need of assistance.
-
Connecting homeless and at-risk Veterans with housing solutions, health care, community employment services and other required supports.
-
Collaborating with federal, state and local agencies; employers; housing providers, faith-based and community nonprofits; and others to expand employment and affordable housing options for Veterans exiting homelessness.
