If we determine that your household is eligible, we will put your name on our waiting list. Once your name comes to the top of the waiting list, we will contact you by direct mail and issue you a housing choice voucher. If your mailing address changes, notify us immediately so that you can receive your top of the list letter and receive your housing choice voucher! You will have 60 days from the time you are issued your housing voucher to secure rental housing.
What is the
VASH Program?
The Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) Voucher program, is the federal government's major program for assisting low-income VETERANS to afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing. The Housing Authority of Southeastern Utah administers the VASH voucher program in Grand and San Juan counties.
A veteran interested in the program must also work with a case manager at the VA Office in Grand Junction. The Housing Authority will refer the client to a case manager at the VA if the client does not already have a case worker.
A housing subsidy is paid to the landlord directly on behalf of the participating veteran. The veteran then pays the difference between the actual rent charged by the landlord and the amount subsidized by the program. The amount of your VASH voucher will vary depending on your household’s size and annual income.
A veteran that is issued a VASH voucher is responsible for choosing a suitable housing unit where the owner (landlord) agrees to rent under the guidelines of the VASH Voucher program. Rental units chosen by the household receiving a VASH Voucher may include the veterans's current residence. Rental units must meet minimum standards of health and safety.
