Our emergency shelter provides essential support services for homeless veterans who are housed at our Yaphank facility known as The Vets Place. It provides full-time case managers who are responsible for assisting homeless veterans in overcoming critical obstacles to their attainment of drug/alcohol free, self-sufficient, and independent lifestyles.
The mission of our Veteran Housing Program is to help regain entry into society and attain residential stability, self-sufficiency, and economic independence. It is achieved by providing emergency shelter, transitional and permanent housing for Veterans, as well as by establishing linkages with local service providers to obtain information, resources, and services which will empower homeless Veterans and facilitate their successful reintegration into society.
