Emergency Housing
If you are literally homeless, the VIC has the ability to help those wanting to begin their road to recovery and end the homeless cycle immediately. This is a temporary program that enables a team of dedicated staff to help assess your situation and develop a plan that includes continued housing placement and a stability plan that address those problems that led to the homeless event, and giving back while working toward self-sufficiency and independence.
Veterans must be willing to end the cycle of homelessness and work on their road to a new beginning.
Application:
Veterans interested in Emergency Housing can fill out the Emergency Housing Application and turn it in person by visiting a VIC office or emailing the completed application to: info@nmvic.org or faxing to: 505-266-2609.

Depending on which program you are enrolled in, you may not need active duty time for services to be provided. We have multiple programs that have different service requirements. Speak with one of our Outreach Specialists to see if you qualify.
Emergency Housing may be an option if you are also trying to get out of homelessness AND willing to work on the struggles that led you to it. You will need to contact the Emergency Housing program at our Central Office, if you are literally homeless or couch surfing, to be screened. Please call (505) 296-0800 and ask for the Emergency Housing program.
