Housing Connector Comes to Denver
Housing Connector has created a new marketplace, in partnership with Zillow, where landlords can advertise vacant units in real time and case managers can search for homes that not only match their clients’ preferences but also have waived barriers. Through this model Housing Connector not only increase the speed of move ins, but also makes mechanisms of housing discrimination obsolete by pre-negotiating screening criteria. The results are more people getting housed and staying housed.
Emergency Housing Voucher Update
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 into law, which provides over $1.9 trillion in relief to address the continued impact of the -COVID-19 pandemic on the economy, public health, State and local governments, individuals, and businesses.
Provider Appreciation
It's been over a year since the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic, and we thought it was time to say that we appreciate you! Watching you, our provider community, rally around those experiencing homelessness has been inspiring and humbling.
How to Access the Veteran By Name List
If you serve adults experiencing homelessness, then you are a Veteran service provider. The VA leads a Veteran By Name List (VBNL) that records the name, eligibility, and housing status of all Veterans who are literally homeless, and utilizes case conferencing to connect them to housing programs like Grant and Per Diem (GPD), Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF), HUD-VASH as well as other Veteran benefits. Help is needed to ensure all Veterans experiencing homelessness that you work with get on the Veteran By Name List.

We'll be sure to help celebrate them.
