The SSVF Program
Office will host monthly SSVF Data Office Hours for SSVF Grantees and their
community partners every 3rd Friday of the month at 12pm EST restarting in July (after the SSVF
Permanent Housing Conference). The Office Hours are an opportunity to

questions of the SSVF Program and TA staff.
