If you’re homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, we can help. We offer many programs and services, including free health care. And we can help you connect with resources in your

community. The Community Outreach Division helps Veterans who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless due to financial hardship, disability, substance use issues, mental health

challenges or Veterans transitioning from jail. We offer several ways to initiate services and determine eligibility.   Our location at 909 Vine Street operates as a walk-in clinic, where we

have an Office on Duty (OOD), Monday-Friday 8:00-4:30 to assist with any questions or concerns that staff or Veterans may have.  Veterans can walk in during business hours or call and ask

to speak to the OOD. You can also contact the National Hotline “Help for Homeless Veterans” at 1- for referral to VA in your catchment area. The number is available 24/7. We are able to help

with the following services: * Help contacting Central Access Point (CAP) line (SAFE) for immediate shelter and/or transitional housing options. * Complete referral to Housing and Urban

Development-Veteran Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) for permanent housing. * Referral to H-PACT clinic, Cincinnati VAMC or nearest CBOC clinic for medical care. * Referral to Mental

Health Services. * Referral to treatment or Substance Abuse Counselor. * Referral to community partners to assist with financial support to prevent homelessness. * Referral to Veteran

Justice Outreach if appropriate. * Referral to Employment Services-can help find jobs, completing resumes, interview skills, etc. * Referral to community partners if not eligible for VA

healthcare. The following locations for the Community Outreach Division are listed below. Available at these locations: Community Outreach Division-909 Vine Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202
