To build upon the success and to accelerate our progress in ending Veteran homelessness, we need to continue to work together to ensure that we have coordinated, community-based systems for preventing homelessness among Veterans and for assisting Veterans experiencing homelessness to access appropriate housing and service options within Philadelphia. This system must include finding and assessing the needs of Veterans experiencing homelessness, providing them with appropriate services, and helping them navigate quickly through the steps to move from streets and shelters to permanent housing.

For all the amazing folks out there who are completing the VI-SPDAT, thank you!

• VI-SPDAT individuals
• VI-SPDAT for families

Helpful documents:

• Philadelphia VI-SPDAT and Match Initiation Consent Form v6.26.14
• Instructions for Creating a UCI
• Jackie’s spreadsheet for PII

The Match Initiation Form and the Vacancy Form are now live.  We will be editing these forms over the next couple weeks to make sure they fit with Philly’s needs.
