They also wish to serve on the front-lines of the Veterans’ homelessness crisis by providing direct safety net services to disabled veterans. Under the Veteran Living Communities initiative, NVCLR plans to construct an affordable, accessible, multi-family housing unit for up to four Veterans whose income is at or below 50% of Area Median Income. NVCLR will provide paid job training through construction, maintenance, and residential design fields. Trauma-informed intensive case management services will also be available as needed.
