  The program provides eligible veteran families with outreach, case management, and assistance in obtaining VA and other benefits, such as:
  Emergency resources
  Case management
  Resiliency skills training
  Housing counseling
  Affordable housing
  Crisis assistance
  Landlord mediation
  Credit repair
  Mortgage resources
  Help accessing VA benefits
  Legal assistance
  Time-limited payments to third parties
  A unique aspect of the South Florida program is the integration of resiliency training, which incorporates relationship education skills developed by PAIRS Foundation into efforts to help end and prevent homelessness for veteran families.
  Two November 11, 2012 articles featured Operation Sacred Trust as a new model for ending homelessness for veterans. In November 2012 and May 2014, CBS Miami featured Operation Sacred Trust on the Evening News.
