New Beginnings’ Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program operates from a housing first model to help end veteran homelessness within Santa Barbara County. The program’s goal is to help veterans attain housing stability through short-term case management and financial assistance. We serve those in danger of losing their housing, and those who are homeless and in need assistance in obtaining permanent, traditional housing.
