The Southeast Veterans Service Center and Chesapeake Veterans House of Washington DC operates a 98-bed ( 20 Permanent SRO - Single Room Occupancy Units and 78 Transitional Units) Transitional Living Center in Southeast Washington DC for homeless veterans of all U. S. wars, male and female. The center offers residents a safe, clean and sober village-like setting for a duration of several months to one year, depending upon individual need. The program was originally formulated as a social model and is now integrated with structured case management and mental health therapy. Accordingly, it addresses addiction, mental health problems, medical needs, family issues, spiritual development, and employment training and placement.

This three-phase multi-service approach includes: Recovery Services, Employment Development, and Community Reintegration; Abstinence, following a 12-Step model; and community participation intended to nurture individual strength and pride. The program’s goal is full employment, independence, and reintegration into the Washington DC community.
