Transitional Housing for Veterans Experiencing Homelessness
Who We Serve
Individuals who have served in the U.S. military.
Volunteers of America’s Transitional Living Program provides support for up to twenty chronically homeless. Referred primarily from Healthcare for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) these individuals deal with co-occurring issues of mental illness, substance use, and often also physical ailments.

- Access to Education
