The HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) program combines Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) rental assistance for homeless Veterans with case management and clinical services provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
The Sheridan VA provides these services for participating Veterans at VA Medical Centers (VAMCs) and community-based outreach clinics, in their Wyoming Service Area. The Casper Housing Authority accepts referrals through the Casper community-based outreach clinic.
The HUD-VASH program is a partnership between HUD and the VA and is the only Permanent Supportive Housing project in Casper. Based on the Housing First Model, this program has been managed through the partnership between the Sheridan VA and the Casper Housing Authority for over 5 years.
The Housing Choice Voucher Program (which is also known as Section 8) issues vouchers that pay a portion of the monthly rent for privately owned units. Casper Housing Authority provides eligible households with a voucher (also known as a housing subsidy). Vouchers may be used to rent a unit from any landlord in Casper eligible to participate in the program.
Households in this program earn 30 percent of area median income or less to qualify, and pay the portion of rent and utilities not covered by the voucher—typically 30 to 40 percent of monthly income.
The program does not place exact limits on the amount of rent a landlord can charge, but rents must be comparable to rents for similar units in the same area.
Please note that the eligibility requirements for the Housing Choice Voucher program differ from those of other programs.
