The Dallas Community How many unhoused Veterans live in the Dallas metro area? An estimated 289 military Veterans are experiencing homelessness in the Dallas and Collin County area, according to the annual Point-In-Time count.
How is VCP different from other Veteran organizations? We serve all Veterans, regardless of age, ability, discharge status, or VA-eligibility. VCP offers comprehensive, holistic wraparound services to address the root cause of homelessness. With a low Veteran to case manager ratio of 10:1, the individualized approach provides a strong emphasis on community integration.
Is VCP part of the VA? VCP is not affiliated with the VA; however we have a “partner, not compete” mentality and work hard to build relationships with other programs and organizations also committed to meeting the needs of Veterans.
How will VCP impact the surrounding neighborhood? VCP's campus will not only provide critical housing resources but will: •
Beautify an unused area, increasing property values of surrounding homes and businesses
•
Provide ongoing opportunities for community volunteerism
•
Strengthen Dallas's social services sector
•
Become a source of civic pride
•
Improve the safety of the surrounding neighborhood
