Today, we’re growing nationwide to serve more Veterans everywhere, ensuring no one is left behind. Our founders’ solution was simple: provide Veterans experiencing homelessness with a home of their own and wraparound case management services that leverage the support of the community to not only get them back on their feet, but ensure they continue standing. Our proven model has an 85% success rate at getting Veterans back on their feet. The Team We, the team members and co-founders of VCP, operate with innovation, entrepreneurship, and grit in our mission to serve those who served. We move with swift, bold action, driven by purpose. We believe in collaboration, community, compassion, and above all, serving Veterans with dignity and respect. We serve all Veterans with that ethos—regardless of length or type of service, or discharge status.
