- Housing search assistance
- Landlord mediation
- Temporary financial assistance
- Connection to VA services, Social Security benefits, and related health care services
- Assistance with obtaining public benefits, personal financial planning services, legal services, and employment support

- Be a military Veteran family — either a single person who is a Veteran or a family in which the head of household or the spouse is a Veteran.
- Have a household income at or below 80% of the area median income (AMI) (adjusted for Hawaiʻi cost of living).
- Be homeless and prepared to move into permanent housing within 90 days, or be at risk of losing current permanent housing.
