The Pathway to Successful Reintegration

Eligibility

  • Experiencing Homelessness or Unstable Housing

    You may qualify if you are currently a homeless veteran, living in a shelter, sleeping in a vehicle, couch surfing, or at immediate risk of losing your housing. We understand that housing instability comes in many forms, and we are here to help you find a safe and secure place to rebuild.

  • Escaping Abuse or Unsafe Living Conditions

    If you are a veteran fleeing domestic violence, abuse, or a harmful environment—with or without children—you are eligible to seek shelter and support with us. Your safety is our priority, and we are here to provide a confidential and compassionate space to heal.

  • At Risk Due to Job Loss or Financial Hardship

    Veterans struggling to pay rent, utilities, or other basic living expenses due to job loss or reduced income may be eligible for assistance. If you’re on the brink of eviction or facing serious financial strain, our program offers housing and support resources to help you regain stability.

  • Committed to Personal Growth and Reintegration

    To ensure long-term success, all participants must be willing to actively engage in and graduate from each phase of our Reintegration Program. This includes participation in services related to health, wellness, employment readiness, and personal development. We walk with you every step of the way—but your commitment is essential.

  • Red Phase

    Building Trust and Meeting Immediate Needs

    The Red Phase focuses on establishing trust with veterans and addressing their most immediate needs. Our first priority is ensuring that veterans receive the physical and mental health care they require. This includes enrolling them in VA healthcare and helping them access their full VA benefits. Each veteran undergoes a thorough screening to determine eligibility for residency in one of our tiny homes, and to identify any specific challenges they face.

    During this phase, veterans are provided with essential amenities such as clean water, climate control (HVAC systems), and electricity to ensure a comfortable living environment. To foster a sense of structure and discipline, television access is limited. Alcohol consumption is prohibited within the tiny home residences, and tobacco use is allowed only in designated outdoor areas. Additionally, veterans are given necessary items such as clothing and hygiene products, preparing them for the next phase of their journey toward reintegration.

  • White Phase

    Empowerment Through Personal Development and Skill-Building

    The White Phase marks a critical transition point, where we begin to address the barriers that have hindered veterans' successful reintegration into society. This phase focuses on both immediate career readiness and long-term personal development. We partner with vocational rehabilitation counselors to guide veterans in identifying their passions, strengths, and career paths.

    Counseling and career coaching help veterans build a sustainable career, while financial literacy training and life skills workshops support their personal growth. Veterans are encouraged to take responsibility for their finances, cultivate independence, and begin to build a sense of ownership. As they progress, they may opt to purchase personal items like a television, fostering a sense of accomplishment and dignity as they move toward greater autonomy.

  • Blue Phase

    Achieving Self-Sufficiency and Community Integration

    In the final Blue Phase, veterans demonstrate the self-sufficiency, financial stability, and personal responsibility required for independent living. This phase focuses on long-term sustainability and community reintegration. Veterans are encouraged to maintain steady employment, practice effective money management, and continue their personal development.

    While setbacks may occur, our program provides continued support to ensure that veterans stay on track. We collaborate with local workforce development programs, financial institutions, and veteran service offices to help veterans save for permanent housing, plan for reliable transportation, and connect with community resources. Mentorship and peer support are essential elements of this phase, helping to create a network of encouragement and solidarity.

    The Blue Phase serves as a stepping stone toward a fulfilling and stable life, where veterans contribute to and are integrated into their communities.
