SSVF 2020 Virtual Housing Conference – Registration is Now Open
SSVF Grantees
were sent instructions on October 23rd from our partners at the SSVF@tacinc.org
group regarding the two step SSVF 2020 Virtual Housing Conference registration
process. It is important to review that email regarding registrations and
obtaining Continuing Education Credits based on event attendance. Event
sessions will run from November 9th thru the 20th, 2020 on a variety of topics
relevant to your daily work with homeless Veterans. Note: due to the
conference being virtual, we are strongly encouraging Grantees to support as
many staff as possible to attend the events.

ATTENTION:
Support Veteran Voting Rights by Helping with Getting Registered
The SSVF
Program Office is requesting Grantees work with the Veterans they serve to get
registered to vote. The Veterans we work with have supported their
country by signing their name on the line to serve in the United States
Military to fight for our Freedom. Now is our time to support them, by
helping them get registered to vote. The link below provides information
about voter registration deadlines, a guide for new voters, and a voter registration
link.
