Oakland County | Planning, Zoning and Land Use - Virtual PLANNERS GATHERING

The Veterans Community Project (VCP) was founded in 2016 by combat Veterans who saw firsthand the challenges of returning to civilian life and who shared a dedication to do better for those who served our country. Their solution to Veteran homelessness is bold, yet simple: 240 square feet of dignity with 1:1 support to help Veterans get back on their feet—and continue standing. Since welcoming their first residents in 2018, VCP now has six locations throughout the U.S. and has shown an 85% success rate. Join us for a look at their program and its potential in Oakland County.

Ben Hendershot, Vice President, Veterans Community Project, Kansas City, MO
