The Volunteers of America Greater Los Angeles has several programs to meet the<br />

needs of veterans and their families. Like their colleagues in northern California,<br />

they too provide services under the SSVF grant, but also provide supportive<br />

services for female veterans, transitional housing, residential facilities for Iraq<br />

and Afghanistan veterans, employment assistance, re-entry services, and lowincome<br />

housing.<br />

VETERANS TRANSITION CENTER OF MONTEREY<br />

The <strong>Veteran</strong>s Transition Center offers transitional housing on the property<br />

formerly known as Fort Ord. The Center’s “Coming Home to Patton Park” program<br />

offers homeless veterans the tools they need to successfully reintegrate and<br />

become self-sufficient. In a clean and sober environment, veterans can access<br />

case management services, life skills workshops, substance abuse counseling,<br />

and temporary living quarters while they seek employment and permanent<br />

housing. The program is tailored to meet the needs of each individual and provides<br />

veterans and their families transitional housing for up to 24 months. For more<br />

information, go to www.vtcmonterey.org or call (831) 883-8387.<br />
