VA Safe Havens
Veterans Affairs Safe Havens
Building upon the success of our original Safe Havens program, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), through the Washington D.C VA Medical Center, awarded MCCH funding in 2014 to provide Safe Havens emergency housing for veterans experiencing homelessness.
Each year, we serve over 55 men and women with severe mental illness in three group residences located in Silver Spring and Laytonville. Learn more about how you can help veterans in our VA Safe Havens program by clicking here.
