With a primary focus on housing assistance, access to treatment, case management, and outreach, we take a holistic approach to addressing the individual needs of each Veteran. The Grant and Per Diem housing program (GPD) is a transitional housing program serving Veterans that have experienced homelessness and need assistance reintegrating back into the community. It is a shared living program, where the Veterans each have an assigned case manager that formulates service plan goals for them to work on during their stay.
