Veterans MUST Read Before Interview
You are being assessed for your enrollment into the Emergency and/or Transitional Housing
Program offered by the Veterans Integration Centers (VIC). All questions need to be completed
in order for our team to determine eligibility and what the best course of action is to help you in
your road to recovery. NO one question will make you Ineligible for services, so please be truthful
and complete in your answers. As part of the assessment process, you are being informed of the
basic requirements IF enrolled in one of our programs:
1. Veterans are subject to a 7-day probationary period in which the VIC can elect to terminate
services based on your commitment, participation and adherence to all VIC policies & procedures

Homeless, or a community mental health or substance use support program
7. If deemed ELIGIBLE to work, the Veteran will be required to actively search for employment
beginning after completion of the first 30-days of enrollment
8. Veterans without family are required to live with roommates in our Transitional Housing facility
and adhere to all rules and policies in place
9. Veterans, and family members, consent to background checks as part of enrollment eligibility
into VIC programs, BUT, criminal history does not necessarily disqualify you

monthly to the VIC, as directed by their case manager
