The Long Beach Homeless Veterans Initiative (LBHVI) is a program associated with Los Angeles County’s Homeless Prevention Initiative (HPI). The City of Long Beach has been under contract with the County for the LBHVI since July 2008. This LBHVI is paid for with funds in the amount of $1.5 million over three years. The Initiative seeks to house homeless veterans in the City of Long Beach, and to provide case management support aimed at directing these veterans to needed services, benefits, and supportive programs, including assistance for those who are permanently disabled in applying for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), as well as assistance for those who are able to work in finding employment.
