Founded in 2016 by a group of Combat Veteransin Kansas City, Veterans Community Project aims to helpVeterans achieve self-sufficiency, and housing stability, regardless of discharge status.
Since 2020, VCP Longmont has served more than 280 Veterans across the Front Range and housed 40 through walk-in services, agency and street outreach. VCP provides one-on-one case management through evidence informed tools–connecting Veterans and their families to a network of more than 45 service partners, and building pathways to self-sufficiency and stable housing. Additionally, VCP distributes Emergency Assistance Funds for rent and utilities and other necessities.
VCP Village -Longmont is a crossover venture between Veterans Community Project, the City of Longmont, and HMS Development. Located on a 2-acre property, approximately 13 miles northeast of Boulder, the Village will feature 26 tiny houses and a 3,000-square foot Community Center. Each single residency home will be 240-square feet; the Village’s five family homes are 340-square feet and can sleep up to 7.
VCP Village provides everything a Veteran needs to live with dignity and safety; trauma-informed design with new furniture, appliances, housewares, bedding, and utilities, free of charge.Once desired goals are met, VCP assists each Veteran in securing a permanent housing solution and continues follow-up case management for a year. Each Veteran is allowed to take the entire contents of his or her tiny home as they transition to a new life.
