Profile
Common data and benchmarks, use of the most accurate data possible
Housing First as the model Using the resources appropriate to the need –
Permanent Supportive Housing is for the highest need veterans.
Targeting chronically homeless veterans Support for additional resources to serve veterans
that do not need PSH – e.g. SSVF Performance (VAMC and PHA) Connection to Continuums of Care – using those
resources to target veterans ineligible for VA
