Founded in 2016 in Kansas City, MO, VCP is dedicated to supporting every man and woman who took the oath to defend our nation. The greatest barrier to ending Veteran homelessness is the revolving door of unstable housing and the frustrating maze Veterans must navigate in order to get basic support. We believe that to be an effective program, the first step is to connect Veterans and the community. VCP created an innovative homeless housing program and outreach assistance that provides inclusive services to aid Veterans in re-claiming control over their lives.
The overall goal of VCP is to collaborate not to compete with the social services sphere. By 2022, we expect to have VCP Villages and Community Centers, and Veterans Outreach Centers in eight cities across the United States.
Longmont, Colorado (in Boulder County) is the first expansion site outside of Kansas City. When completed in 2022, the VCP Village - Longmont will feature 26 tiny houses and a 3,000-square foot Community Center for Veterans experiencing homelessness in Northern Colorado. Additionally, VCP is opening an Veterans Outreach Center on Main Street in Longmont to serve walk-in Veterans in August 2021.
