Freedom House

Freedom House was organized in September of 2004 by Family & Community Services, Inc. Operations are guided by a diverse advisory council comprised of those individuals and groups concerned with meeting the needs of homeless veterans.

Program Goals:
Freedom House exists to provide emergency shelter to those veterans in a housing crisis, while also providing support advocacy, and referrals to encourage self sufficiency and movement towards permanent housing.

How Can Freedom House Help?
Freedom House provides emergency shelter and supportive services to adult male veterans who are experiencing a housing crisis. Essential to our mission is improving the quality of life for our residents by providing a 90-day shelter that includes individual case management, advocacy, information and referrals to area resources.

The Resident Advocate meets regularly with the shelter residents to establish a case plan that will focus on goal such as: housing, income, job training, education, counseling, financial planning and other goals.
Housing Specialists are available around the clock to answer the support line, admit new residents, and provide a supportive environment to the homeless veterans staying at the shelter. These services are available 24 hours a day,7 days a week.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to support homeless veterans in our community in their efforts to achieve greater self sufficiency. Including the ability to secure and maintain permanent housing. Support will be provided through intensive case management and access to community resources dedicated to enhancing self sufficiency, and will reflect the individual needs of those served.
