Life Changes . . . when you're ready.
The Legion of Brothers Project Matrix
The purpose of the Legion of Brothers project is to remove veterans from homelessness and place them in a safe and secure residential environment where they can address immediate health needs, receive supportive services and access assistance to move into independent living. A deciding factor in the success of the Legion of Brothers homeless veterans’ program is the willingness of the veteran to engage in services. Every effort is made to reduce barriers to success by pairing the veteran with a mentor who will assist and guide them in securing permanent housing, accessing vocational opportunities and placement, financial literacy skills, accessing benefits available to the veterans, linkage to health care, addressing any addictive concerns and inclusion on social and recreational activities. Veteran residents are considered successful when they have achieved their stated goals, inclusive of independent living.
