Real Estate Agents, Brokers & Landlords

For veterans seeking housing, there are multiple pathways to secure stable living. Veterans should explore all available programs, as they often have dedicated housing case workers who collaborate with a range of real estate agents, landlords, and rental agencies. Additionally, the SSVF program offers housing case managers who work with pre-approved rental agents, ensuring veterans have access to vetted housing opportunities.


VA Home Loan programs are government-backed mortgage options designed to help eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and their families purchase, refinance, or improve a home. These loans are offered by approved lenders, with the VA providing a guarantee to the lender. Be sure to scan the QR code for more information.

  • Veterans Affairs Homeless Programs

    Landlords have a unique opportunity to give back to those who have served. Veterans have selflessly defended our nation in times of need — and landlords can make a positive impact by protecting these individuals from the risk of homelessness. Housing Veterans doesn’t just provide shelter, but can lead to life-changing health, social, and socioeconomic outcomes for them and their families. Furthermore, housing Veterans provides a mutually beneficial relationship; landlords will benefit from responsible, often long-term, renters, support from VA, and guaranteed payments that come through Housing Choice Vouchers or grantees offering short-term subsidies.

  • Housing Discrimination

    Neighbors Together

    What is Source of Income Discrimination (SID)…and how do you fight it?

    When a landlord refuses to accept your housing voucher, that is called Source of Income Discrimination (SID), and it is illegal. If you plan on using your voucher program or public assistance to pay rent and a landlord or broker tells you…

    • No vouchers
    • They have nothing available for voucher holders
    • You don’t meet the credit or income requirements
    • They ignore you or tell you they will call you back after you mention your voucher

    …they are discriminating against you and it should be reported! We can fight back against discriminating landlords and even help you get an apartment when we report discrimination against vouchers.
