What we offer
Our services include, but are not limited to: basic food and shelter, housing, advocacy, counseling, peer support, case management, employment and education.
Housing
We operate twelve properties throughout Essex and Middlesex Counties that provide affordable housing.
Outreach
From Counseling to Health Care, Advocacy, and Legal Assistance and so much more, our Outreach Services are embedded in many of the programs we offer.
Employment
Our employment team strives to assist Veterans within our local communities in any way possible.
Supportive Services
Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) is a program funded by the Department of Veteran Affairs that aims to improve low-income housing stability.
