Self-matching is allowed for the SSVF Rapid Rehousing Program only. In cases when the SSVF staff member self-matches the Veteran to their SSVF Rapid Rehousing program, they will complete the self-referral in HMIS and update the need status the same day the assessment is completed. Before completing the following workflow to match a Veteran to your SSVF project, ensure that a CES assessment has been completed with the Veteran and that the Veteran’s VI score falls between 1-0 for Individuals and Youth, and 5.5-0 for Families.
