More Progress In Reducing Veterans Homelessness Here
Hospitality House marks Veterans Day by celebrating its success in housing local vets, while planning to expand capacity with ten new units in Grass Valley.
On this Veterans Day, Hospitality House is touting its progress in moving them into a home. Development Director Deborah McDonald says that’s 80-percent of the 262 vets they’ve helped since they opened their doors in 2005…
The average stay of veterans at Hospitality House has been
19 days. And over the past year alone, they’ve provided shelter, meals, case
management, and financial help to 34 veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
McDonald says the fastest-growing homeless demographic is seniors. And she
notes that many of the veterans the Street Outreach team meets see accepting
benefits as a sign of weakness. And so some go without the help they’ve earned…
Hospitality House also works closely with the Nevada County Veterans Services Office to connect them with resources. And McDonald says when the former Stagecoach Motel renovation is completed in Grass Valley, the county will have another 10 units to offer homeless veterans.
