Our Mission
The mission of The Veterans Resource Program (VRP) is to assist veterans gain access to veteran benefits through the Veterans Administration. We provide clean, sober and safe housing for veterans who may be homeless, formerly incarcerated or returning home from the military. We assist in the completion of Veterans Administration forms for medical care, education/vocational rehabilitation and home purchase. We make referrals to reputable local veteran service organizations that specialize in servicing veterans. The Veterans Resource Program strives to enhance the well-being of the men and women who risked their lives in the service of our country. We help veterans transition onto a path of wholeness and restoration. We honor veterans and advocate on their behalf. We are appreciative and thankful to all veterans for their service to our country.
“The Idea that anyone who has worn our country’s uniform spends their nights sleeping on the ground should horrify us.”
