The Homeless Veterans Program

Since 1993, The Transition House has been the leader in addressing the homeless issues in Florida. Recent statistics reveal that there are an estimated 4,000 homeless veterans within our region.

In April the Department of Veterans Affairs Health Care for Homeless Veterans awarded the first Veterans Per Diem Grant to The Transition House, Inc.

The purpose of this grant is to promote the development and the provision of transitional housing and supportive services. Our rehabilitative facility is located in Saint Cloud, Florida and provides a residential setting design to meet the individual homeless veteran needs.

Why The Transition House?

The Transition House, Inc., has the expertise in working with the homeless and continue to grow and service the homeless citizens of Central Florida through our various programs.

The Homeless Veterans Per Diem Grant gives us the opportunity to address the homeless veteran population.

Our case management team consists of veterans who know the needs of their fellow veterans. We have also established a strong working relationship with the local veteran groups who are willing to volunteer and offer peer support to their fellow veterans.

As our clients progress through the Veterans Homeless Program, they will learn how to establish personal goals that they will take with them when they mainstream back into society.

We want them to feel increasing levels of personal accomplishment, self-esteem, self-sufficiency, along with confidence so that they can progress towards total independence.

It is in our expert opinion that in order for a person to obtain and sustain permanent housing, they must first acquire the necessary skills needed to maintain stability.
