SafeLink Wireless

Unless the veteran is assured that their phone (and plan) are secure from disconnection, it is best to get a free government phone as soon as possible and use that number for all housing matters.

SafeLink Wireless is a government supported program that provides free cell phone service each month for income-eligible customers. In addition to the Safelink portal, veterans can also find phones and iPads at most HRA offices around the city.
