Resource Library

The HUD-VASH is a collaborative program between HUD and the VA that combines HUD housing vouchers with VA supportive services to help Veterans who are homeless and their families find and sustain permanent housing.

Navigators can help you find resource using a statewide resource database. They can help find resources to address various concerns including employment, food, domestic violence, housing, mental health, transportation, medical care, and more. Navigators can help with rental and deposit assistance for families with children in the home who qualify. They have an online resource list: https://211-idaho.communityos.org/
