Our approach
Housing is the foundation. Recovery is the goal.
Veterans face unique barriers to stable housing — the transition from military to civilian life, the weight of service-connected trauma, and systems that weren't built with them in mind. Our programs are.
Whether you need a safe place tonight, a structured environment to rebuild, or a permanent home, we have a program that fits. All programs require a sober, drug- and alcohol-free commitment. Monthly rent is approximately $700–$1,200, typically covered through VA housing benefits or HUD-VASH.
Three programs
A program for every stage of the journey
Transitional Housing
A stable foundation while you rebuild
Our transitional housing program provides furnished, safe housing for veterans who need time and structure to stabilize their lives. Residents receive peer support, connections to employment and VA benefits, and help getting to appointments — everything needed to move toward permanent, independent housing.
- Furnished private or semi-private rooms
- Peer support from fellow veterans
- Employment readiness and job placement assistance
- VA benefits navigation and enrollment support
- Transportation to VA and other appointments
- Flexible stays from 90 days to 24 months
Permanent Supportive Housing
A place to call home
For veterans who need long-term housing stability, our permanent supportive housing program offers a place to live without a time limit. Residents maintain a sober, drug-free environment and pay monthly rent — typically covered through VA housing benefits or HUD-VASH vouchers.
- Long-term lease with no arbitrary end date
- Sober, drug- and alcohol-free community
- Monthly rent approximately $700–$1,200
- VA housing benefits and HUD-VASH accepted
- Transportation to VA and other appointments
- ADA-accessible units available
Emergency Bridge Housing
Immediate shelter when it matters most
No veteran should spend a night on the street. Our emergency bridge housing program provides immediate, short-term shelter for veterans in crisis — no lengthy paperwork, no waiting period. From the moment you arrive, our team begins working on a longer-term housing plan with you.
- Immediate placement — no multi-day intake process
- Safe, clean, sober shelter
- Rapid connection to transitional or permanent housing
- Transportation assistance to VA appointments
- Available 365 days a year
