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.
Suffolk County United Veterans will be the recipient of funds as part of the host community benefits initiative that evolved from the approval of the proposed Caithness Long Island Energy Center in Yaphank. The project represents the first replacement of aging power generating infrastructure with more efficient and cleaner technology. A portion of the Caithness funds was targeted for community projects within a three mile radius of the Yaphank power plant. Suffolk County United Veterans was awarded funds for rehabilitation and repair of our emergency shelter, The Vets Place thanks to the South Yaphank Civic Association and Yaphank Taxpayers and Civic Association. Thank you Johan and Fran for all your dedication to the community!
The Vets Place Emergency Shelter (above) will be able to replace the present chain link fence with a brand new fence as well as landscaping as part of a rehabilitation project funded by Caithness.
