ULI Homeless to Housed Case Study: Veterans Community Project

Case Study Summary: The Veterans Community Project (VCP) of St. Louis, Missouri, is a transitional tiny home community for Veterans experiencing homelessness, honoring all who took the oath to serve and embracing Veterans of all service backgrounds. VCP offers Veterans a stable environment where they can adjust to daily life at their own pace and with a sense of security. The parent organization was founded in Kansas City, Missouri, in 2016 by a group of combat Veterans shaped by their military service and a determination to do better for Veterans in need. The founders wanted to provide Veterans experiencing homelessness with a home of their own and wraparound case management services that leverage the support of the community. VCP of St. Louis offers high-quality services that help Veterans address immediate crises, navigate daily challenges, and work toward lasting stability. Veterans typically stay 14 to 16 months in a VCP Village before transitioning to sustainable, permanent housing.
