Wrap-around partners turn housing into stability
CHV places veterans and holds leases. Your case management, clinical care, legal aid, and employment support turn a placement into a life back on course.
Housing is the first hour. You force-multiply the rest
Housing First is an evidence-based model. It says: get a veteran into stable housing first, then everything else gets easier. It does not say housing is enough. A veteran in a safe home with PTSD, a pending benefits claim, and a broken car is still struggling.
CHV puts the veteran in the home and provides limited direct support. Partners like you augment and force-multiply the specialist care CHV is not built to deliver. That is the model.

Legal aid
Discharge upgrades, landlord-tenant defense, benefits claims, family-law triage. Veterans with all discharges especially benefit from legal aid partners.

Four practical reasons
Placements come with a real lease, not a case-managed motel stay
CHV covers the gap federal programs cannot close, so your case-management hours go further
Shared coordination so no veteran falls through a hand-off
Plain-language Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and reasonable expectations, not a six-month negotiation
The first cohort: proof of the model
A partner case-management agency handles day-to-day case management. CHV holds the lease, absorbs landlord risk, and maintains coordination infrastructure. Three veterans placed through this partnership are still housed at the twelve-month mark. Every rent payment landed on the first.
That is what a clean division of labor produces. Each partner does what they do best. The veteran does not have to manage the interface between them.
