Programs

Housing-Linked Medical Support

A roof does not hold if the reason someone lost it was never treated.

The problem this solves

Housing programs place people successfully and then lose them — not because the housing failed, but because the untreated condition that contributed to homelessness carried on untreated. Pain that makes work impossible. PTSD that makes a congregate setting unbearable. Substance use nobody had capacity to treat. Diabetes that has gone unmanaged for a decade.

Our role is to make sure the clinical side moves at the same speed as the housing side.

What that looks like in practice

  • A medical assessment at or near the point of placement, not months later
  • A clinical plan the case manager can actually see and work with
  • Transport to appointments — the single most common reason care does not happen
  • Medication continuity across a move, which is where it usually breaks
  • Coordination with HUD-VASH case management and the VA for eligible veterans
  • Early warning when a health problem is about to threaten a placement

Valor #1 Housing

In November 2025, with support from The Hunt Foundation, Valor Villages opened a residence for eight formerly unhoused veterans — two units, four women and four men. A kitchen, laundry, a door that locks, help claiming earned benefits, and a ride to medical appointments.

Who provides the housing

Housing is provided by Valor Villages, a separate 501(c)(3) organization, through emergency, transitional and permanent supportive programs including HUD-VASH and rapid re-housing. We do not operate housing. If housing is what you need, they are the right first call.
