We are happy to provide Grant funds to the Shepherds House, Indiana. They serve Veterans with mental health diagnoses, including dual diagnosis of PTSD, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and/or substance use disorders. They provide case management and support to ensure Veterans have access to programs and rehabilitation that provide quality clinical services to meet their needs. The only requirement for Veterans to enter our program is a commitment to recovery. Their three facilities handle housing for 30 homeless male veterans ages 18 and over, another for men further along in recovery but have disability or health issues. The third facility caters to those with more severe addiction and mental health issues which require more supervision.
The goal is to support Veterans as they establish sobriety and transition from homelessness to permanent housing. So far there is an 85% success rate in helping Veterans achieve sobriety and a 95% success rate of Veterans completing their program move into permanent independent housing.
