The Longview Housing Agency has officially launched the Help House a Veteran campaign to expand housing access for former military personnel. This initiative promotes the HUD-VASH program, which combines federal rental assistance with VA case management services.
Why it matters
The campaign seeks to increase the number of participating landlords in Longview, ensuring more veterans have access to stable, subsidized housing. By providing landlords with case management support, the program aims to lower barriers to entry for those seeking to rent to veterans.
The agency will host a recruitment luncheon on November 5 at the Longview Chamber of Commerce from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Interested landlords can contact the housing authority at (903) 237-1235 for more information.
