The Veterans Resource Center is one of only fifteen of its kind in the country and the only drop-in service center for veterans in the Western Pennsylvania region. The Veterans Resource Center services veterans facing homelessness or at risk of homelessness providing them with essential resources such as transportation, food, clothing, laundry facilities, shower facilities, financial assistance, and individualized case management. Veterans are immediately linked with resources for housing. Veterans do not have to be VA eligible to receive services. Anyone who has served one day in uniform is eligible for our services, regardless of discharge.
The Low-Income Veterans and Families Program offers veterans and their families the ability to receive services to ensure their basic needs are being met to avoid homelessness, hunger, and financial crisis. Veterans Place strives to increase their household income and stability through individualized case management. Financial assistance is available to support veterans and their families in need.
Veterans Place offers this program specific to Female Veterans. Through the Female Veteran Program, veterans are assisted with navigating their unique and challenging barriers. Veterans Place offers financial assistance to female veterans in need facing homelessness due to domestic violence, mental/physical health barriers, or financial strain. Through the Female Veteran Program, Veterans Place also offers a Female Veteran Group providing a supportive community of female veterans to discuss their challenges and needs.
Veterans Place of Washington Boulevard is proud to announce the launch of a new Recovery Support Program, funded through the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP). As part of a $1.5 million award over 24 months, this program will expand critical recovery services for veterans living with opioid use disorder (OUD) and other substance use disorders (SUD) in Allegheny County.
This initiative is part of Governor Josh Shapiro’s broader commitment to strengthening the state’s substance use treatment system and promoting sustained recovery across Pennsylvania. Veterans Place will provide non-clinical, person-centered support services that address all areas of recovery: health, home, purpose, and community. Services include peer-to-peer recovery coaching, support groups for veterans, structured recovery workshops, life-skills and job-readiness training, and individualized recovery planning.
