Supportive Housing for Homeless Veterans
OUR MISSION: Provide a full continuum of care to homeless, unstably housed, and low-income veterans and facilitate their return to the community as productive, responsible citizens.
The Allegheny Valley Veterans Center (AVVC) is supportive housing for homeless veterans. AVVC participants will receive case management to assist them with developing goals to transition from the AVVC into permanent housing.
Supported housing at the AVVC is more than just housing, it is a program that provides stable housing so residents can focus on setting and achieving goals that lead to self-sufficiency. Honest communication with staff is critical to the team being able to support all residents as much as possible. Staff members do their best to support residents while working on their goals; however, they also hold residents accountable for their actions.
Needs: Your donations will help us start Phase 3 of our building process which is to build 4 2 bedroom apartments and 6 one bedroom apartments for low-income seniors and veteran families here at the AVVC to go along with the 32 transitional housing male rooms we have on the 2nd floor and the 14 transitional female/6 family rooms we have on the 1st floor. This will give the AVVC the ability to support up to 32 homeless male veterans, 14 homeless female veterans or 6 homeless families due to emergency situations with veterans families having preference, that need a place to stay until they can get back on their feet on one side of the facility and up to 10 more permanent apartments for low-income seniors and veterans on the opposite side of the facility and making it possible to move from the transitional side to the permanent apartment side once they are built and become available. Your donations will also help us maintain services to the present and any future veterans and seniors.
