Steps to take

The VA will assign you a case manager to review your situation.  You may be required to go through one of many tests or programs to help you adjust to your new life.  You must complete your programs to receive assistance from Arkansas Veterans Village.

After you have completed your program, you may qualify for a VASH (Veteran Affairs Supportive Housing) voucher for housing or the St. Francis program.  In either case, you are on your way to permanent housing.  The VA program has 65 beds in the service area provided by the clinics above.  In Rogers, AR there is a 15 bed facility that services the Fayetteville area.  Until your housing is available, you may be assigned to that facility,  If it is filled, you case manage will contact Arkansas Veterans Village.  If your case manager believes you  are a "fit" for our program, they will contact us and we will provide your transitional housing for a period of time usually determined by the availability of housing.

You and your case manager and an AVV representative will meet at the assigned facility and you will be given a Client Housing Handbook.  It will be explained to you and if you agree to the terms, we will begin to provide you transitional housing at a local hotel.

Your case manager will contact you seekly to determine if you still meet the requirements for transitional housing.  As long as you follow the terms of the agreement, we will provide the housing required.

In accordance with the rules of the Northwest Arkansas Veterans Coalition, this is a one time opportunity.  If you have been through either of the programs above previously, we may choose not to provide support.
