The Tribal HUD-VASH program provides rental assistance and supportive services to Native American Veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness living on or near a reservation or other Indian areas. HUD provides rental and supportive services, and awards renewal grants every year subject to appropriations. The U.S Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides case management and clinical services. The goal of the Tribal HUD-VASH program is to reduce the number of Native American Veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. A complete list of program requirements is found in the 2018 Consolidation Notice. The HUD contact for this Notice is TribalHUDVASH@hud.gov.
