Volunteers of America Detroit Veterans Housing Program

Volunteers of America Detroit Veterans Housing Program, located at 253 East Milwaukee Avenue in Detroit, Michigan, is a comprehensive transitional and supportive housing facility designed to assist veterans in overcoming homelessness and related challenges. As the state’s largest private provider of services to veterans, Volunteers of America Michigan plays a pivotal role in the continuum of care for those who have served in the military. The facility offers transitional housing coupled with robust case management, employment and income support, art therapy, and various enrichment activities to aid veterans in regaining stability and achieving long-term housing.

The program also provides wraparound services through initiatives like the Supportive Services for Veterans Families (SSVF), the Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP), and the Suicide Prevention Engagement & Referral for Veterans (SERV) project. These initiatives address not only housing but also mental health, employment barriers, and food insecurity. Veterans benefit from tailored support such as legal aid, workforce readiness training, and food distribution, regardless of their discharge status. This facility stands as a critical support hub for veterans throughout southeastern Michigan and exemplifies a holistic, veteran-centered model of care.
