Veterans constitute a disproportionate share of our country's homeless population. Thousands of former servicemen and women will sleep on the street or in shelters on any given night. The majority suffer from post-traumatic stress and other mental illnesses, including co-occurring alcohol or drug addictions.

Our housing programs provide a safe place for veterans to address the issues that led to their homelessness and provide them with the resources for a successful recovery and the skills to overcome poverty and despair.

Community Hope, in partnership with private developer Peabody Properties, has been awarded conditional approval by the Veterans Administration to develop Valley Brook Village. This “veterans village” will consist of 63 units of apartments and townhouses for homeless veterans and those at-risk of homelessness as a result of post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury and physical disabilities incurred in combat.

Veterans will reside in their own affordable apartments and have access to on-campus support services. To date, more than $9 million has been committed toward the project.

Upon completion, Valley Brook Village will be the first permanent supportive housing for veterans in Northern/Central New Jersey and ensures our veterans receive the support they need and live with the dignity they deserve.
