A Veterans Service Officer (VSO) can assist Veterans and their eligible dependents in filing claims to the U.S Department of Veterans Affairs for benefits like service-connected compensation, health care, home loan, insurance, non-service-connected pension, vocational rehabilitation and employment, and burial and memorial benefits for which they may be eligible.
Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (SSVF) seeks to prevent veterans and their families from becoming homeless and seeks rapid rehousing for those who are homeless.
SSVF is provided by Blue Mountain Action Council (BMAC) for those who are currently homeless or at risk of homelessness within the Johnathan M. Wainwright VA Medical Center service area (parts of Oregon, Washington and Idaho).
