Importance of Asking the Question

Housing service providers encounter Veterans, service members, and military families, but they don't always know it. Veterans do not always identify nor ask for help themselves…..even when they are in some kind of trouble or crisis. The way to ensure military-Veteran applicants for housing services get the help they need and deserve is to ASK!

When the Answer is YES

By asking, you may be able to help them identify and access Veteran-specific housing programs and services. Asking further questions will also help to:

• Build rapport and demonstrate interest by listening to the Veteran
• Link a Veteran to any needed military and veteran resources and referrals, including both VA and non-VA programs
• Identify mental health and/or physical or medical issues impeding housing stability
