Our June speaker will be Jordan Klebanow, Central Mass HUD-VASH Supervisor. Jordan will be talking about HUD VASH, a program that supports Veterans in and around Worcester County.
HUD VASH marries a traditional Housing and Urban Development rental subsidy with VA funded supportive services. The rental subsidy operates like any other – the landlord enters into a partnership with a housing authority in which the housing authority pays at least 70% of the apartment rent, with the veteran responsible for the remaining 30%. It’s then the team at HUD VASH's job to make sure the vet is accessing sources of income, mental and physical health care, transportation, and has everything they need to live comfortably.
HUD VASH currently works with many local landlords and are actively cultivating relationships with new landlords as they grow their team and house more veterans.
Once again, we will be trying to have a hybrid meeting, that is, both in person and Zoom. If you attend in person, wearing a mask will be up to individual discretion.
Pizza and soft drinks will be available during our social hour.
All members whose dues are up to date will be sent a Zoom link to the meeting via email. From that email, click the link and it will bring you to the meeting.
Whether or not you choose to attend in person, please be safe.
