Veterans Transition House

Veterans Transition House It's our belief that the veterans we serve seek a hand up, not a hand-out.

Veterans Transition House (VTH) helps homeless and at-risk veterans and their families in the Massachusetts South Coast area. We provide shelter and services, with a special focus on healing from substance abuse and learning new life skills. VTH is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit , founded in 1990 by a group of Vietnam veterans and community leaders who recognized the vital need for housing and supportiv

e services for area homeless and at-risk veterans—especially those tackling substance abuse—on the Massachusetts South Coast. Our goal is the rehabilitation, self-sufficiency and reintegration of each veteran into the community.

Teamwork and generosity came together to make this beautiful sign a reality at our SFC Bruce Portas House. This home provides a safe, supportive place for 19 veterans as they transition out of homelessness and toward independent living. Thank you to each and everyone that helped with this project. 💚
