Veterans on the Rise provides a holistic system of care to fight veteran homelessness in the Washington DC metroplex. VOTR offers the resources and opportunities for each homeless or at-risk veteran to overcome the personal and housing challenges they face in order to achieve maximum self-sufficiency.
Community Based Emergency Residential Services (CERS): VOTR provides CERS placement to homeless veterans referred to us by DC Veterans Affairs Medical Center. VOTR provides 24 beds, 20 for men and 4 for women, for emergency transitional housing for a period of up to 60 days. Case managers work closely with each veteran to provide both group and individualized care that meet their particular needs. Care includes medical support through the VA Medical Center, therapeutic and rehabilitative services, individual professional counseling, training in life skills and financial management, assistance in finding job training and employment opportunities, and help in finding alternative safe and affordable housing when they are discharged from VOTR. 98 veterans were supported under this program in 2019.
Serious Mentally Ill Transitional Housing (SMI): VOTR has 12 beds dedicated to housing veterans experiencing severe mental illness which puts them at the highest risk of homelessness. Many of these veterans have multiple conditions that make it hard for them to succeed in shelters or in traditional transitional housing programs. These conditions can include, but are not limited to, severe mental illness, co-occurring disorders, PTSD, substance abuse and other medical conditions. These veterans live in a community setting in which they receive 24-hour care from trained specialists for up to 180 days. Care includes physical and mental health support through the VA Medical Center, therapeutic and rehabilitative services, individual professional counseling, training in life skills and financial management, and help in finding alternative safe and affordable housing when ther are discharged from VOTR. 38 veterans were supported by this program in 2019.
Supportive Housing Program: This represents the program VOTR hosts for DCHA at our 51st Street facility in units 1016 1A, 1016 2B and 1018 3C.
