## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability hud-vash-contacts-lookup-69c958a4
```

Example prompt: Can you find the HUD-VASH contact offices for veterans housing assistance in Texas, specifically for Harris County?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, federally-sourced HUD-VASH program contact information for a specific U.S. state or county. It is ideal for veteran services applications, social worker tools, housing resource guides, or any agent workflow that needs to route veterans to the correct local HUD-VASH office. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, reliable contact data sourced from HUD federal records rather than scraped or crowd-sourced directories.

## Known failure modes

- No contacts found for an unrecognized or misspelled state/county name
- Empty result set if the requested jurisdiction has no HUD-VASH contacts on file
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient or x402 payment protocol encounters an error
- HTTP 402 returned if payment is not completed before data is served
- Invalid query parameters may return an error or empty response

## How this service works

Pay-per-call crypto, RWA, federal, SEC, Section 8/HUD housing, and compliance APIs via x402. Primary: USDC on Base (eip155:8453). Also accepts Global Dollar (USDG) on Robinhood Chain (eip155:4663) via sovereign X-PAYMENT-TX. Hyphen routes only (e.g. /x402/gas-tracker, /x402/pha-lookup, /x402/sec-8k). MARKETPLACE REVIEW: use free /x402/playground/* (no key, no payment). Production /x402/* returns 402 unless paid via x402 or X-Api-Market-Key / X-API-Key from seller dashboard.

## Output

A list of HUD-VASH (Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing) program contact records for the specified state and/or county, including office names, contact details, and program information drawn from U.S. federal HUD data.
