VETERANS OUTREACH OF PENNSYLVANIA

VOPA plans to build a village of 15 tiny homes surrounding a community center for homeless Veterans. This unique but proven concept is specially designed to meet the specific needs of homeless Veterans. A calm setting, close to transportation and service providers, is a significant component of the Veteran’s healing process.
VOPA’s Objective is to provide each Veteran with his or her own tiny home, so they can feel safe and in control of their surroundings. This thoughtfully designed community for homeless Veterans will meet all local city code and ADA requirements and will connect to city utilities; water, sewer and electric. A tiny home provides everything the Veteran needs to live with dignity and safety, including a bed, lavatory facilities, desk, sink, and counter space with a refrigerator underneath. Transportation will be accessible to connect the Veteran to systems of care, employment and the community.
The Centralized Community Center promotes a nurturing environment where each Veteran can join with service providers, family, and friends to find a path that leads to a better life. Success will be supported through access to health, wellness, education, employment, and a myriad of other services provided at the Veteran’s pace.
