Phoenix House pledges
to serve the needs of homeless, unemployed and underemployed veterans, both male and female, by providing self sufficiency
gateways for safe housing, transportation, specialized healthcare, financial acuity, and mentorship. Supporters of Phoenix
House are committed to raising funds to connect these supportive services for veterans.
Residents
of Phoenix House are responsible for their own personal space, share household chores, and are expected to mentor new residents.
Although residents are on individual time tables for their own recovery and re-entry into society, they are all expected to
participate in counseling sessions, attend all doctor or other provider appointments, learn a new skill if needed, look for
employment, and open a bank account.
Phoenix House also proposes to offer specialized services.
Homeless veterans with families have additional needs to be addressed. A state of the art Child Care facility
will ensure that the children of these veterans are well cared for and provided for as their parent(s) learn the skills to
again become contributing members of society.
In addition, Phoenix House proposes to acquire additional housing to be used as transitional
housing. Residents graduating from the dorm style living are housed in townhouse style homes that will be part of the overall
Phoenix House property. Graduates of Phoenix House primary residence will have the skills and necessary resources to
become fully self-sufficient.
