Our beloved veterans once paid with their lives in the fight for our freedom. They were sent into volatile conflict areas without any assurance that they would survive.

They are unquestionably heroes for their numerous sacrifices, and we are sincerely grateful for their service.

Unfortunately, the majority of those who survived experience problems with their mental health, physical health, easy access to healthcare, finding employment, and the most widespread of all—homelessness.

It is quite tragic to learn that despite giving their all for the country, they just get little or nothing in return.

Thank goodness, there are a ton of nonprofit groups that are always prepared to provide for the needs of our brave veterans, especially by giving them a place to call “home.”

Project for the Community of Veterans

The non-profit group, also known as VCP, was established in Kansas City, Missouri, by Army veteran Chris Stout, Marine veteran Kevin Jamison, and Navy reserve officer Mark Solomon.

Veterans who require a safe place to remain are given access to tiny homes in this small town. The 4.9 acres of land that make up the Veterans Community have been developed into what seems like a tiny town from above.

Their main objective is to restore the veterans’ dignity and sense of ownership rather than simply providing them with housing.

The VCP seeks to restore their sense of ownership over something that they could once again be proud of.

Wes Williams, director of veterans services at VCP, stated, ‘This isn’t simply an opportunity to receive a couple of months and then you’re back in an apartment or something like that.’ You have the chance to exhale deeply, learn to dream once more, and take a deep breath.

The VCP also contains a communal facility and an outreach center in addition to the tiny dwellings.

There, veterans collaborate closely with service providers to aid clients in obtaining stable housing, employment, and access to healthcare.

What resides within these little houses?

All the things they require! Even though they are small, each home has a television, a comfortable bed, a bathroom with a shower and toilet, a kitchen, and a small living room.

There is no need to mince words; it is a straightforward residence furnished with all possible amenities.

The freedom to bring any appliances one wants with them once a veteran moves out is another benefit of the VCP.

Every time a home is vacated, new appliances are installed in preparation for the subsequent renter. Is that going too far? Yes, too much goodwill!

A neighborhood built on compassion.

As most of you may already be aware, the majority of veterans own dogs, and their four-legged friends are welcome inside the community! The veterans’ pets just added to the atmosphere of joy and friendliness.

Many people were drawn to the VCP’s mission and vision because they wanted to contribute to the creation of this lovely community. In reality, according to the VCP, they constructed 70% of the city.

In this place, there is only kindness, love, and a sense of belonging.

One veteran added, when expressing how wonderful it is to be a part of this group, ‘I’ve never had anyone do anything for me.

I’ve always been the one to help out my friends and family, but this is amazing. How fortunate are you in this life right now?’

Without a doubt, we concur! We can only hope that more people become aware of the VCP and its admirable goal.
