Veterans Community Project

Veterans housing Veterans, armed with the strength and support of the community.

VCP Longmont was the first expansion site outside of Kansas City with a Veterans Outreach Center that has served more than 600 Veterans across Northern Colorado and helped more than 100 find permanent housing since 2020. In 2022, VCP of Longmont launched a mobile outreach program and is currently building a VCP Village of 26 tiny homes that opened for two-year transitional tiny home beginning in September 2023, which is centered around a Village Center.

More about this organization

There are two primary programs offered through VCP:

1. Tiny Home Village: VCP Villages provide Veterans who are experiencing homelessness transitional housing and intensive case management services. Unlike traditional transitional housing programs, a tiny home provides the Veteran with privacy, a sense of security, and the ability to reintegrate at a comfortable pace. Each tiny home features a bed, a small kitchen, and a bathroom.

Through the Village Community Center, Veterans are offered wrap-around services and case management utilizing a Five Supports Case Management tool created specifically for Veterans. Veterans may stay in their tiny homes as they continually progress in their program and toward their transition to permanent housing.

2. Veterans Support Services program: The work of VCP is to prepare the Veteran for a self-sustaining life outside of VCP, called Permanent Housing Readiness (PHR). While Veterans are housed with us, they are working to ameliorate what caused them to become homeless with support from our case management system that focuses on solutions to these causes.  Maintaining employment is a crucial component of PHR. The same factors that keep someone housed keep them employed and employable.
