HVRP is federally funded by the Department of Labor to provide case management services relating to job readiness and employment services while having housing security issues. HVRP allows for at-risk and Homeless Veterans to apply for assistance through the HVRP case manager. HVRP grantees accomplish these objectives through a variety of core services: - Knowledge of Population: understand the unique needs of the veterans they serve and structure to meet those needs. This is accomplished through Military culture training for staff members and community partners. - Outreach - use a flexible, non-threatening approach to meet veterans where they are. Outreach also includes activities to engage partners and employers. Our Outreach Consists of two states and five counties. Our team engages VSO, Community providers, VA hospitals, State employment Agencies, shelter systems, and transitional housing in Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire. - Assessment/Intake: assess each veteran to determine program eligibility and to gauge job readiness and willingness to engage in employment services. - Case Management: use a veteran-centered approach to develop an Individual Employment Plan (IEP) based on an individual's strengths and preferences while addressing barriers such as housing stability, mental health issues, and substance use. - Job-driven Training and Placement: provide training that is targeted to the specific industries, occupations, and skills that are in demand locally. Training services can be provided in-house, through partners in the community, or through the local American Job Center. - Collaboration: collaborate with public and private partners at all levels (federal, state, and local) to provide supportive services and access to housing.
