Our emergency shelter provides essential support services for 24 homeless veterans who are housed at our Yaphank facility known as The Veterans Place.  We provide full-time case managers who are responsible for assisting homeless veterans in overcoming critical obstacles to their attainment of drug/alcohol free, self-sufficient, and independent lifestyles.

The mission of The Suffolk County United Veterans Project, Inc. (SCUVP) is to help veterans regain entry into society, and attain residential stability, self-sufficiency, and economic independence. This purpose is achieved by providing emergency shelter, transitional and permanent housing for veterans, as well as, by establishing linkages with local service providers to obtain information, resources, and services which will empower homeless veterans and facilitate their successful reintegration into society. 

We have created a communal living environment for veterans, and we work to use their strengths in positive ways. Sixty percent (60%) of our veterans remain sober for over one year after leaving the project, which is a strikingly successful recovery rate for a clientele that is notoriously resistant to most forms of treatment.
