Veterans

HUD-VASH rooms. We run the house. VA keeps the rest.

If you are a Veteran, or you refer Veterans, this page is the product. Beneficial accepts VA program referrals into shared houses. We are not veteran-only housing. We are not mental-health housing. VA keeps case management and care.

What we accept

  • HUD-VASH when the PHA will do shared housing and the Veteran chooses it
  • SSVF referrals when the grantee approves navigation or deposit help. We do not pay those costs and we do not guarantee them
  • Housing Choice Vouchers in other houses we operate, when the PHA allows shared housing

What we do not do

  • Enroll anyone in HUD-VASH or SSVF
  • Require shared living. Shared housing is a choice
  • Mix clinical conditions into the lease
  • Market diagnosis-specific or SMI-only units

For Veterans

You get a private room and a separate lease. HUD-VASH rooms in Fresno and nearby counties are the same product: we run the house. If you are looking for HUD-VASH housing near you, this is it. Does HUD-VASH allow roommates? You can say no to a roommate house. That choice is yours, not ours.

For case managers

Send a referral, not a diagnosis, unless you are requesting a reasonable accommodation. We screen to a written Fair Housing standard. Housing First: tenancy is not conditioned on therapy.

For the program in plain language, read What is HUD-VASH housing. For rooms we are building, see voucher rooms in the Central Valley.

Questions

For Veterans and the people who refer them.

Who determines HUD-VASH eligibility?

The VA determines Veteran and program eligibility. Beneficial cannot enroll anyone in HUD-VASH or SSVF.

Does HUD-VASH allow roommates?

Shared living is the Veteran's choice. It is not a requirement of HUD-VASH or SSVF. Each Veteran has a separate lease.

What is SSVF housing here?

SSVF may refer a Veteran and, when the grantee approves, help with deposits and navigation. Beneficial does not pay those costs or guarantee them.

Is this veteran-only housing?

This product accepts VA program referrals. It is not veteran-only housing and not mental-health housing. Non-veteran voucher holders are housed in other residences we operate.

Do you provide clinical care?

No. VA keeps case management and care. We operate the house. We screen to a written Fair Housing standard.
