Post 1 works collaboratively with the VA’s Supportive Services for Veteran Families program (SSVF), offering case management services, assistance in obtaining benefits and emergency financial resources.

The SSVF services are located down the street from Post 1 at the Bill Daniels Center Volunteers of America at 1247 Santa Fe Dr. Denver, CO 80204 (720) 501-3367
