Status Query and Response Exchange System (SQUARES) is a VA web application that provides VA employees and external organizations such as homeless service community partners, law enforcement partners (police departments, sheriff departments, courts, and jails), and local, state, and federal agencies with reliable, detailed information about Veteran eligibility. Users submit identity attributes for homeless individuals (name, date of birth, Social Security number, gender) and SQUARES returns information regarding the Veteran’s status, eligibility for healthcare and VA programs. For a general overview of how SQUARES is making a major impact in the community, please watch the following videos: SQUARES Overview and SQUARES Search Tools.
