Housing for Heroes
a CARF Accredited SSVF Program that we provide in Southern Arizona. Â
Services
We've got your six - from temporary, immediate housing, to budgeting and job hunting, and so much in between, we can help you get back on your feet. Check out a few of the ways we help our clients:
Housing Assistance
Funds may be available and applied to establish or secure housing once a case manager helps the client develop a sustainable housing plan.
Benefit Acquisition
Our case managers can help clients apply for and pursue qualifying benefits such as VA medical assistance or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. They will also help clients acquire necessary paperwork to participate in this and other VA programs.
Utility Assistance
As part of our efforts to secure or establish housing, we can offer temporary assistance with utilities, once a case manager helps the client develop a sustainable housing plan.
Transportation
Transportation is available to assist eligible clients in completing their sustainable housing plan.
Job Assistance
Vocational Specialists are available in Pinal and Yuma counties to help those who need it find and prepare for job opportunities.
Homeless Outreach
Our National Community Housing program employees work hard trying to contact those in need of our services by coordinating with other organizations working with homeless populations and going to where homeless populations congregate.
Temporary Housing
Funds may be available to assist those homeless families in need of immediate temporary housing.
Budgeting
As part of our efforts to secure or establish housing, we help clients establish a sustainable housing plan with a manageable budget based on the client’s needs and resources.

Miguel Villalpando, Project Coordinator
Yuma Office
Miguel is a lifelong resident of Yuma County. He started employment with NCHP in 2015, when they were known as Boarder Health Foundation. He currently serves in various community organizations, like the Somerton City Council, Yuma Metropolitan Planning Organization, Somerton Education Inc and the Yuma Coalition to End Homelessness. He says the SSVF program is a life changing program for those Veterans that may be at a low point in life, so it is an honor to be able to provide that assistance.
NCHP's National Community Housing SSVF program is CARF accredited for another 3 years!
CARF International accreditation demonstrates a program’s quality, transparency, and commitment to the satisfaction of the persons served. CARF International is an independent, nonprofit accreditor of health and human services. Toll free (888) 281-6531.

HUD-VASH and SSVF:
If you are a HUD -VASH (Veteran Affairs Supportive Housing) recipient and have not used an SSVF deposit within the previous 2 years, our SSVF program can assist you! Both programs – the HUD-VASH and SSVF programs – are funded to help assist Veterans with their housing search. We work closely with local HUD-VASH case managers and refer back and forth often for services and support. HUD-VASH case managers will qualify you for the voucher and provide case management, and SSVF will provide the deposit funding. Then, HUD-VASH will ensure payments are processed.
If you are a veteran seeking support in your housing search, or if you are a landlord wanting to participate by offering an apartment to a Veteran who needs housing, please contact us and we can help you take the first step towards stable housing for you and your family.
