Coming Home Program at Patton Park
As part of the housing project, 38 housing units in Patton
Park will be developed for transitional housing and one dining
facility, with 20 of the houses having been completed in May 2002. The
properties were built in 1962 and conveyed in 1998 to VTC under the
McKinney Act after the closure of Fort Ord. The housing is single story
and wood framed. The buildings, containing 2, 3 and 4 bedrooms, are
configured for families and individuals, male and female. The housing
requires major renovation in order to comply with local housing
regulations. VTC is using donations and grants to restore these houses
into homes for veterans and their families. Renovation on the first 20
units began September 4, 2001.
This program is providing transitional housing and counseling
services to veterans for a period of up to 24 months. During the
program, veterans are dealing with mental health issues, physical
disabilities, and transitioning from homelessness to self-sufficiency.
While veterans are dealing with these issues, they are also beginning
to learn life management skills so that they are able to sustain
themselves in the future. We are providing these opportunities for
veterans who are willing to commit to being clean and sober, changing
their lives and learning the skills needed to become self-sufficient.
Surrounded by other veterans with similar challenges, veterans learn to
help one another and form a community.
