TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM VETERANS HAVEN
The Transitional Housing Program for homeless veterans
occupies a three-story building on state property
in Winslow Township. The program is divided into
three phases: treatment; self-reclamation; and community
reintegration. Each phase lasts three to six months
and is tailored to individual treatment needs and
vocational interests.Eligible veterans are referred
from a VA Medical Center after receiving a medical
evaluation. To be admitted into the program, the
veteran must agree to a long-term program focusing
on psychological, social and vocational rehabilitation.
The program is drug and alcohol free, and has a staff
comprised of professionals in the fields of mental
health, addictions, social work,vocational rehabilitation
and nursing, all sensitive to the multiple needs
presented by the homeless veteran.
