The effect of a Veterans Affairs rapid rehousing and homelessness prevention program on long‐term housing instability
SSVF is one of the largest rapid rehousing and homelessness prevention programs in the nation. We found that SSVF improves housing outcomes over the three years following enrollment, but the effect reduces over time. These findings can inform policy and program design for improving housing outcomes for homeless-experienced individuals.
