Veterans Place provides services to homeless and at-risk veterans through three main programs: the Veterans Resource Center, Transitional Housing, and Workforce Development. Veterans Place connects veterans to life-sustaining services through our multitude of programs to address specific barriers that veterans face.

The Veterans Resource Center is 1 or 15 drop-in resource centers nationwide. Veterans are transported from shelters, encampments, bridges, and the streets across the Pittsburgh region to the Veterans Place campus where they are provided meals, clothing, shower and laundry facilities, access to a food pantry, case management, and other supportive services designed to address the root causes of homelessness. Programs within the Resource Center include the Female Veteran Program, the Low-Income Veterans and Families Program, the Minority Veterans Program, the Opioid Response Program, and the Community Case Management Program.

The Transitional Housing Program is one of the only VA funded campus-style transitional housing programs in the region offering temporary on-site housing to 48 male and female veterans in one of the 13 townhouses on our campus. This setting creates a continuum of care in which veterans can receive individualized services in addition to access to all the resources offered such as an on-site food pantry, employment services, financial literacy classes, art therapy, and much more. The program is designed to build self-sufficiency and independent living skills with the central goal of achieving self-sustaining employment and permanent housing.

The Workforce Development program assists veterans in resume building, mock interviews, connection to competitive employment, and access to job-related education and materials needed for employment.
