Class of Housing/Services: Transitional housing. Not free.

General Information:
Traditional housing for single males. Veterans get priority. Call for current rental rates. Rent includes water, garbage, gas, electric, cable and wifi. Why is money needed for rent? The Veterans Enrichment Center is a 501(c)3 Non-profit Organization that currently operates solely on donations.  Although we would enjoy nothing more than to provide a 100% free home or the Veterans to live in, we do not currently have the means to do so.  The annual cost to operate the Veterans Enrichment Center is $75,000, well above the amount that can continue to be paid from the pockets of the disabled Veterans who founded the home. As we continue to wait for the opening of a Federal Grant and the application process involved with doing so, we must charge a modest fee of $400 to cover the rent, cable, internet, computers, electricity, gas, phone, etc... Is the Veterans Enrichment Center a detox facility? Although we are a transitional home and a clean and sober living facility, we are not a detox facility, as we do not have the certifications to do so.  While we are unable to assist the Veterans with their detox needs, we are able to refer them to the correct organization that can provide them with assistance with their rehabilitation needs.  Upon the completion of a separate inpatient substance abuse program, the Veterans can then be housed at the Veterans Enrichment Center. What does "transitional" mean? The Veterans Enrichment Center approach towards transitional housing is to provide a temporary home for the Veteran population, including the working and/or student homeless, who are in need of a clean, safe and sober living environment while upgrading their skills and abilities to become productive members of society.  We work with the local community to address each individual Veteran's needs to assure that they are transitions in a timely manner. How will Veterans Enrichment Center apply for Federal funding, and what will they do upon receiving them? Once the Federal Grant (Grant Per Diem) has been finalized and approved, the Veterans Enrichment Center will then lower the Veterans' rent from $400 per month to $250 per month.  $150 per month will be used to cover the costs associated with the daily operations of the house and $100 will be used as a savings for the Veterans.  The Veteran will then be able to receive 100% of their savings upon transitioning back into the community. Additionally, we can house 20% non-veteran residents. The rent for non-Veterans is $450 per month. There are also future plans to house female Veterans in a similar fashion as the male facility. We will also work with our community partners to provide classes for our Veterans.  For example: Computer classes     Workshops     Hygiene classes, etc.
