About
Custom Tab
Founded in 2016 by a group of Combat Veterans in Kansas City, Veterans Community Project aims to help Veterans achieve self-sufficiency, and housing stability, regardless of discharge status.
Since 2020, Veterans Community Project (VCP) of Longmont has served more than 600 at-risk and homeless Veterans across the Front Range. Our Outreach team has supported Veterans with everything from obtaining discharge paperwork to in-depth case management, helping with challenges like food insecurity, connection to mental and physical health services, and securing permanent housing solutions. Armed with the support of the community, VCP has already helped to permanently house more than 100 Veterans in Colorado.
In the fall of September 2023, VCP moved in its first Village residents adding the final piece of wrap-around services to provide transitional housing with dignity alongside onsite intensive case-management support. The Village is now home to six Veterans working on tackling their barriers to housing, and will, when it’s complete, be able to house 26 Veterans and their families during their transition from homeless to permanently housed.

Background Statement
VETERANS COMMUNITY PROJECT is a 501(c)(3) organization founded by a group of combat Veterans in Kansas City, Missouri who resolved to stand in the gaps of a broken system that left too many of their brothers and sisters behind. VCP is on a mission to end Veteran homelessness across the country.
VCP Village is a specialized community of tiny homes combined with on-site, wrap-around support services. With the peace and security of their own homes, Veterans work closely with specially-trained case managers to overcome challenges related to health, employment, financial stability, and social isolation. The ultimate goal: permanent housing and the skills to ensure a better future.
