Bonnie not only became an expert, but she launched a company that would go on to help more than 19,000 veterans and spouses get the benefits that her mother never received.

HUD-VASH: Helping Homeless Veterans with Permanent Independent Community-Based Housing

Posted on May 11, 2022 by jwatrel

HUD-Vash: Helping Homeless Veterans with Permanent Independent Community Based Housing

Department of Veterans Affairs New York/New Jersey Veterans Integrated Health Care Network 2

What is the HUD-Vash Program?

The HUD-VASH program is a collaboration between the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) program to help homeless veterans and their immediate families find and maintain affordable, safe and permanent housing in the community.

The primary goal of HUD-VASH is to help veterans and their families successfully move out of homelessness. The program is designed to improve each veteran’s health and mental health and to enhance each veteran’s ability to remain stable, housed and integrated in their local community. This is done using HUD Section 8 “Housing Choice” rental assistance vouchers and VA’s intensive case management services.

Veterans who are admitted to the HUD-VASH program are assigned to a VA case manager for assessment and service planning. Assistance in obtaining the Section 8 voucher is also provided. Veterans continue to work with their assigned case manager for the duration of their time in the program.

Who is Eligible for HUD-VASH?

The HUD-VASH program is for veterans who:

*Are eligible for VA Health Services;

*Are currently and chronically homeless.

*Have a need for ongoing case management because of medical, mental health, substance abuse or other life problems that are now stabilized;

*Have some type of income to pay for their housing.

*Are motivated to improve the quality of their lives by working with a VA case manager and participate in activities that promote independence.

*Note: Veterans and immediate family members subject to a lifetime registration requirement under a state sex offender registration program are not eligible for HUD-VASH because they will not be able to obtain a Section 8 housing voucher.

How are Veterans Admitted to HUD-VASH?

Veterans who are interested in the HUD-VASH program should first contact their local VA homeless program.

A clinician will complete the referral paperwork and send it to the HUD-VASH Admission Team for review. The Admission Team will assess the veteran’s eligibility and need for ongoing case management.

If the veteran is admitted to the program, a case manager will be assigned to begin working with the veteran on a service plan and connection to needed resources. The veteran will also be assisted in obtaining a Section 8 housing voucher and in locating appropriate housing in the community.

Once housed, veterans can expect to have regular ongoing home visits from their VA case manager. The purpose of these visits is to help veterans maintain their housing by addressing problems as they occur.

There is no time limit for being in the HUD-VASH program. However, veterans who refuse VA case management may lose their Section 8 voucher from HUD.

Other Helpful Programs:

Healthcare for Homeless Veterans (HCHV)

This program provides community outreach, case management and a range of other services to help homeless veterans get back on their feet.

Residential Treatment Programs:

These short-term programs provide comprehensive rehabilitation. Based on their goals, veterans are assisted with meeting health and mental health need including vocational services, relapse prevention planning and developing skills for success community integration.

Compensated Work Therapy/Veterans Industries (CWT/VI):

These programs help veterans transition to employment after an extended absence from the work force by providing a short-term supportive work experience at local VA Medical Centers.

Grant & Per Diem (GPD):

This program allows VA to provide grants and per diem payments to assist public and non-profit organizations to establish and operate transitional supportive housing. Veterans can remain in Grant & Per Diem housing for up to 24 months.

What you can do to prevent falls

Posted on April 28, 2022 by jwatrel

What you can do to prevent falls: STEADI (Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths & Injuries)

Four things YOU can do to prevent falls:

  1. Talk openly with your healthcare provider about fall risks and prevention.

Tell a provider right away if you fall, worry about falling or feel unsteady. Have your doctor or pharmacist review all the medicines you take, even over the counter medicines. As you get older, the way medicines work in your body can change. Some medicines or combinations of medicines can make you sleepy or dizzy and can cause you to fall. Ask your provider about taking Vitamin D supplements to improve bone, muscle and nerve health.

2. Exercise to improve your balance and strength:

Exercises that improve balance and make your legs stronger, lower you chances of falling. It also helps you feel better and more confident. An example of this kind of exercise is Tai Chi. Lack of exercise leads to weakness and increases your chances of falling.

As your doctor or healthcare provider about the best type of exercise program for you.

3. Have your eyes and feet checked:

Once a year, check your with your eye doctor and update your eyeglasses if needed. You may have a condition like glaucoma or cataracts that limits your vision. Poor vision can increase your chances of falling. Also, have your healthcare provider check your feet once a year. Discuss proper footwear and ask whether seeing a foot specialist is advised.

4. Make your home safer:

*Remove things you can trip over (like papers, books, clothes and shoes) from stairs and places where you walk.

*Remove small throw rugs or use double-sided tape to keep the rugs from slipping.

*Keep items you use often in cabinets you can reach easily without using a step stool.

*Have grab bars put in next to and inside the tub and next to the toilet.

*Use non-slip mats in the bathtub and on shower floors.

*Improve the lighting in your home. As you get older, you need brighter lights to see well. Hang light-weight curtains or shades to reduce glare.

*Have handrails and lights installed on all staircases.

*Wear well-fitting shoes with good support inside and outside the house.

Talk to your doctor about fall prevention.

Many falls can be prevented. By making some changes, you can lower your chances of falling. Four things YOU can do to prevent falls:

*Have your healthcare provider review your medicines.

*Exercise to improve your balance and strength.

*Have your eyes and feet checked.

*Make your home safer.

Low Income Household Water Assistance Program-State of New Jersey (LIHWAP)

Application period is now open for the LIHWAP:

https://www.nj.gov/governor/news/news/562022/20220302b.shtml

The LIHWAP program, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, will provide benefits directly to water and wastewater companies on behalf of residential customers. The assistance can be used, in order of priority to:

*Restore services where serves have been terminated and pay reconnection fees and other charges accrued due to a disconnection.

*Avoid service disruption for those residential customers who are in danger of disconnection (i.e., received shut off notices or have past due balances) and to help them afford bill payments going forward and:

*Support those household customers who are current in their bills but might be in danger of falling behind in the near future.

*Priority will also be given to families with elderly or disabled household members and/or with children under the age of five, no matter which category they fall into.

To be eligible for LIHWAP assistance, applicants must be water/wastewater bill holders who are responsible for paying their water and sewer bills directly to the vendors. Also, applicant’s total gross household income must be at or below 60% of the state median income ($6,439 a month for a family of four). The LIHWAP frequently asked questions webpage has additional information about maximum income limits and other items.

Participants in the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) are automatically eligible for LIHWAP assistance as long as they are water/wastewater bill holders. People can apply online through the DCAid application portal:

https://www.nj.gov/governor/news/news/562022/20220302b.shtml

LIHWAP is one of several programs DCA provides to help New Jersey households in need with basic resources such as housing and heating to promote long term physical well-being. The programs include the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), which is a federal program that helps households at or below 60% of the state median income ($6,439 a month for a family of four) pay for energy costs (electric, gas, deliverable fuels and those included in rent) and the Universal Service Fund (USF) program, which provides a monthly credit on electric and gas bills for households at or below 400% of the federal poverty level ($8,833 a month for a family of four).

How to Avoid a Scam

Posted on March 3, 2022 by jwatrel

How to Avoid a Scam

Four signs that it’s a scam

*Scammers pretend to be from an organization you know:

Scammers often pretend to be contacting you on behalf of the government. They might use a real name, like Social Security Administration, the IRS or Medicare of make up a name that sounds official. Some pretend to be from a business you know, like a utility company, a tech company or even a charity asking for donations.

They use technology to change the phone number that appears on your caller ID. So, the name and number you see might not be real.

*Scammers say there’s a problem or a prize:

They might say you’re in trouble with the government. Or you owe money. Or someone in your family had an emergency. Or that there’s a virus on your computer.

Some scammers say there’s a problem with one of your accounts and that you need to verify some information. Others will lie and say you won money in a lottery or sweepstakes but have to pay a fee to get it.

*Scammers pressure you to act immediately.

Scammers want you to act before you have time to think. If you’re on the phone, they might tell you not to hang up so you can’t check out their story.

They might threaten to arrest you, sue you, take away your driver’s or business license or deport you. They might say your computer is about to be corrupted.

*Scammers tell you to pay in a specific way.

They often insist that you pay by sending money through a money transfer company or by putting money on a gift card and then giving them the number on the back. Some will send you a check (that will later turn out to be a fake), tell you to deposit it and then send them money.

What you can do to avoid a scam:

*Block unwanted calls and text messages. Take steps to block unwanted calls and to filter unwanted text messages.

*Don’t give your personal or financial information in response to a request that you didn’t expect. Legitimate organization won’t call, email or text to ask for your personal information, like your Social Security, bank account or credit card numbers.

If you get an email or text message from a company you do business with and you think it’s real, it’s still best not to click on any links. Instead, contact them using a website you know is trustworthy. Or look up their phone number. Don’t call a number they gave you or the number from your called ID.

*Resist the pressure to act immediately.

Legitimate businesses will give you time to make a decision. Anyone who pressures you to pay or give them your personal information is a scammer.

*Know how scammers tell you to pay.

Never pay someone who insists you pay with a gift card or by using a money transfer service. And never deposit a check and send money back to someone.

*Stop and talk to someone you trust.

Before you do anything else, tell someone-a friend, a family member, a neighbor-what happened. Talking about it could help you realize it’s a scam.

Report scams to the FTC. If you were scammed or think you saw a scam, report it to the Federal Trade Commission.

Home Repair Scams: Federal Trade Commission

Posted on March 2, 2022 by jwatrel

Home Repair Scams: Federal Trade Commission

Home Repair Scams

Here’s how they work:

Someone knocks on your door or calls you. They say they can fix your leaky roof, install new windows or provide the latest energy-efficient solar panels. They might find you after a flood, windstorm or other natural disaster. They pressure you to act quickly, might ask you to pay in cash or offer to get you financing.

But here’s what happens next: they run off with your money and never make the repairs. Or they do shoddy repairs that makes things worse. Maybe they even put you in a bad financing agreement that puts your house at risk.

Here’s what you can do:

*Stop. Check it out. Before making home repairs, ask for references, licenses and insurance. Get three written estimates. Don’t start work until you have a signed contract. And don’t pay by cash or wire transfer.

*Pass this information on to a friend. You may see through these scams. But chances are you know someone who could use a friendly reminder.

Want to know more? Sign up for consumer alerts at ftc.gov/subscribe. Pass it on.

Please report scams:

If you spot a scam, please report it to the Federal Trade Commission.

*Call the FTC at 1-877-FTC-Help (1-877-382-4357) or TTY 1-866-653-4261.

*Go online: ftc.gov/complaint

Your report can help protect other people. By reporting fraud, you can help the FTC’s investigators identify the scammers and stop them before they can get someone’s hard-earned money. It really makes a difference.
