We're building Maine's first housing dedicated to and designed for our veterans.

It will be an honor for us and our partners to work with these individuals that, as a society, we owe so much to.  The innovative model we have chosen has proven successful in working with the diverse and severe problems faced by many homeless veterans. 

Volunteers of America Northern New England has received funding from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for the new construction of a building in Southern Maine to create transitional housing that will provide 10 apartments for homeless veterans.  We are very excited about this opportunity and are grateful to the Department of Veterans Affairs.  This represents the first housing specifically dedicated to and designed for veterans in Maine. 

After each participant’s strengths and needs are assessed, an individualized service and housing plan will be developed.  This plan outlines goals in major life areas, including housing, employment, substance abuse, mental health, family relations, social supports, literacy, life skills training and group cognitive-behavioral therapy.
