Questions, answered simply.
Who is eligible for veteran housing?
Eligibility depends on the specific program and your situation, and our residential team confirms the details. Veterans facing homelessness or housing instability are a primary focus. The simplest way to find out what you qualify for is to reach out, and we will walk you through it clearly.
Do I need to use VA benefits?
No. You do not have to already be using VA benefits to get help from us. If you are eligible for and interested in VA resources, we can help connect you, but our support does not require it. Reach out and we will explain the options available to you.
Is there a cost?
It depends on the program. Some services are covered by Kansas Medicaid, and MHASCK offers sliding scale fees where they apply. Our team will give you an honest picture of any cost for the options that fit your situation, so you know what to expect before you commit.
Can a family member or caseworker help?
Yes. Family members and caseworkers often help a veteran get connected, and we welcome that. With the veteran’s permission, we can coordinate with them throughout the process, while keeping the veteran at the center of decisions about their housing and care.
How long is the wait?
Wait times vary by housing type and current availability. When you reach out, our team will give you a realistic sense of timelines and help you find interim options or partner referrals if you need somewhere stable sooner rather than later.
What if I am homeless right now?
Please reach out today, and if you are in immediate danger, call 911. Our team can help you navigate emergency and interim options while we work on stable housing, and connect you with partners who serve veterans facing homelessness. You do not have to navigate this alone.
Do you help with mental health too?
Yes. Housing and mental health go hand in hand, so we connect you with counseling, medication support, and recovery services alongside housing. Because our services are coordinated, you can get help for the whole picture in one place rather than piecing it together yourself.
Can you connect me with other veteran organizations?
Yes. We work with trusted veteran-serving partners in the community and make warm referrals when their programs fit your needs. We will always be clear about which supports come directly from us and which come from partner organizations, so you know who you are working with.
What documents do I need?
It varies by program, but you will typically need basic identification and information about your situation and service. When you reach out, our team will give you a clear list of exactly what applies to you, so you can prepare without guesswork.
