GLCAP reports housing support for 171 veteran households

Great Lakes Community Action Partnership says its veteran housing program helped 171 households in 2025 across a 10-county region that includes Erie, Huron, Ottawa and Sandusky counties.

The agency reported the total in a Tuesday article about its veteran services, a day before Veterans Day. The figure covers the full region, rather than those four counties alone.

The Supportive Services for Veteran Families program helps veterans who are homeless or at risk of losing housing. Its current program page says assistance can cover overdue rent, first-month rent, security deposits, utilities and moving costs, along with budgeting help.

Applicants must have income at or below 50% of their county's median income, according to the agency. Individual eligibility and available assistance must be determined through the program.

Veterans can call 800-775-9767 for information. The agency lists in-person housing appointments at its Fremont headquarters, 127 S. Front St., and its Toledo office.
