Do You know a veteran who is homeless in Suffolk County?                                     We may be able to help!   Call us at 1-877-284-8387

The Suffolk County United Veterans Project, Inc. (SCUVP) was founded in 1989 to assist homeless veterans regain their dignity and independence. Residents are former members of the military who struggle with the problems of substance abuse and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and who have not been able to succeed in any alternate form of treatment. Our emergency shelter, The Vets Place, creates a space where veterans can live safely, in sobriety, in a self-governing and self-supporting residence-based community. Just as the military specialized in making veterans combat-ready, so SCUVP works to help veterans become "society ready".

We are an independent organization with no connection to the United States Veterans Administration. The Suffolk County United Veterans Project, Inc. is a registered 501 (c)(3) organization and all donations are tax exempt to the extent of applicable laws.
