More Assistance for Homeless Veterans!

Longview Housing Authority has implemented the Veteran's Integration Program (VIP) for homeless veterans. The program consists of several levels of help including housing, case management and employment.

The VIP has also created a Veteran's Resource website so that veterans can find resources available in SW Washington. This website, VetSource.org ,lists all of the service providers in Cowlitz, Wahkiakum, Pacific and Lewis counties that a veteran might be in need of. The resources are listed by county and by resource and there is also a search feature on the site. So whether you are looking for food, clothing or a Veteran Service Office, look at VetSource.org first. The VIP tab can be found on the above menu under Housing Services/Veterans or under this VIP link.
