Guided by a “where compassion meets action” philosophy, WPI provides culturally responsive, community-based services that promote healing, stability, and resilience. Our programs support diverse populations—including veterans, families, and individuals experiencing housing instability—through outreach, case management, housing assistance, behavioral health services, and prevention programs that strengthen wellbeing and community safety.
 
Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) at WPI assists low-income veteran households who are homeless or at risk of homelessness by offering rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, and supportive services. Established in 2014, the program emphasizes housing stability through individualized case management, strengths-based service planning, housing navigation, landlord engagement, and financial assistance when eligible. SSVF also includes enhanced housing support such as long-term rental assistance options and landlord incentive opportunities to expand access to safe, stable, and affordable housing for veteran families across Guam.
