Veteran Programs and Services
Veteran status is protected from discrimination. This means housing providers must understand veteran services and subsidies, or else risk making bad decisions based on stereotypes. Many veterans are thriving and some take advantage of social services, participation in which landlords cannot refuse. This presentation explains:
- Difference between veteran status and active military status.
- Types of social services available specifically to veterans, including financial, substance use treatment and behavioral health services.
- How to respond when an applicant or resident says they are receiving veteran services/benefits.
- And more!
Veterans in Massachusetts can be single or with a family, so landlords with all unit types from studios through larger units should attend. Landlords with studios, one bedrooms and two bedrooms are especially likely to speak with a veteran or related case worker.
Attendees will learn how to offer equal housing opportunity and support veterans as they take advantage of the services made specially available to them.
