The VA National Center on Homelessness among Veterans is pleased to announce the release of the Housing Navigator Toolkit. This Toolkit is designed to provide housing navigators, program managers, administrators, staff, and other key stakeholders working to end Veteran homelessness with a number of resources, tools, and ideas which can be used to help develop or refine local navigator programming.  The information contained in this toolkit is intended to assist with the integration of navigator programs into existing systems of care.  This toolkit can also be used to provide context for other provider staff (e.g., case managers, peer support specialists, healthcare providers, local government agencies), who will likely collaborate with navigators to help homeless Veterans overcome barriers to housing and engage in needed treatment services.  Moreover, this toolkit will become a “living” document that will be enhanced regularly to provide additional education and training for both VA and non-VA partners through the VA National Center on Homelessness among Veterans. 

While this Toolkit has been tailored for policy makers and program managers at the federal, state, and local levels, the information contained herein is relevant to all stakeholders engaged in ending homelessness.  If you have any questions regarding this document please contact Dr. Roger Casey at  Roger.Casey@va.gov.
