Homeless Veterans Fellowship

What Homeless Veterans Fellowship does

Homeless Veterans Fellowship is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1989 and headquartered in Ogden, Utah, that delivers housing and supportive services to U.S. military veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Eligible veterans must have at least one day of active-duty service and a discharge status other than dishonorable. The organization operates three VA-funded programs: (1) SSVF (Supportive Services for Veteran Families) Rapid Re-housing and Homelessness Prevention, providing short-term case management plus temporary financial assistance for security deposits, rental assistance, and utilities; (2) GPD (Grant and Per Diem) Transitional Housing, an Ogden-based program requiring sobriety and individualized treatment planning; and (3) PSH (Permanent Supportive Housing), limited units for veterans needing continued intensive case management after transitional housing. All services are provided at no cost to eligible veterans.

The organization's service area covers the State of Utah excluding Salt Lake County (which is served by The Road Home) and South Eastern Idaho. The business model is funded primarily through VA grants (SSVF and GPD programs) supplemented by corporate sponsorships (Kroger, Northrop Grumman, Discover Card), private foundations (George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation, Buddy Elliot Family Trust, Thrivent Choice), and in-kind community donations. Veterans access services via phone, email, or in-person visits at the main office; referrals flow through the VA Medical Center in Salt Lake City, Community Based Outpatient Clinics, Utah Department of Workforce Services, Hill Air Force Base, VFW, and American Legion posts. The organization maintains a 1-10 employee staff, operates from a single Ogden office, and uses standard HMIS compliance infrastructure rather than any proprietary technology platform.

Expansion highlights3 records

Direct peers

• The Road Home: The Road Home operates the SSVF program for Salt Lake County—the service area HVF explicitly does not cover—and is named in HVF's resources list as the referral destination for veterans in that geography. They are a directly comparable veteran/family homeless services peer in the same Utah footprint.
• U.S. Vets (United States Veterans Initiative): U.S. Vets is one of the largest non-profit operators of housing and supportive services for homeless and at-risk veterans in the U.S. They run SSVF, GPD, and transitional/permanent housing programs analogous to HVF's portfolio, sharing the same VA funding streams and service model.
• New Directions for Veterans: New Directions for Veterans provides transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, and case management to homeless veterans using SSVF/GPD-style funding—essentially the same service stack and veteran-client focus as HVF in its own region.
• Soldier On: Soldier On operates SSVF-funded rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing for homeless veterans through VA grants—closely mirroring HVF's three-program continuum. Both organizations target the same veteran population with the same federal program structures.

Others

• National Coalition for Homeless Veterans (NCHV): NCHV is the national membership and advocacy organization for the veteran homelessness service provider ecosystem in which HVF operates. While not a direct service peer, they shape VA policy, funding advocacy, and technical assistance for HVF and similar grantees.

Broad incumbents

• Catholic Charities USA: Catholic Charities is named as HVF's community partner (Catholic Community Services of Northern Utah) and operates veteran supportive housing programs nationally, including VA-funded rapid rehousing and case management—comparable services but within a much larger broader social services portfolio.
• The Salvation Army: The Salvation Army operates veteran-specific transitional housing, recovery programs, and case management in multiple states, drawing on similar federal and private funding streams to serve a comparable population as part of much broader social services delivery.
• Volunteers of America: Volunteers of America is a large national nonprofit operating SSVF programs, transitional housing, and supportive services across many states. They serve a similar veteran homeless population but as part of a much broader housing and human services portfolio.
