One of the biggest barriers to independence for our consumers is finding affordable housing that accommodates their special needs.  Last year, Community Catalysts launched the Community Catalysts Housing Alliance to help develop affordable and accessible housing for individuals with developmental and other disabilities.  

As part of that initiative, we also launched the Community Catalysts Veterans Transitional Services (CCVTS) to help combat-wounded service members and veterans find affordable housing and provide services that help them transition to civilian life.

CCVTS provides case management, affordable, accessible housing, daily living skills training, job development, on-the-job coaching, and follow-up services to assure long-term success.  Our goal is to help service members receive the support they need to transition back to living and working in the community.

Working primarily with service members exiting Naval Medical Center San Diego and partnering with the Wounded Marine Careers Foundation, the program has already placed seven individuals in their own homes.  There is currently a waiting list of service members who will join the program once suitable housing and funding are identified.

We are currently seeking private as well as public funding to help the program become financially sustainable.  Community support is the most critical element in our efforts to provide care and hope to these service members who have sacrificed so much for our country. 

While CCVTS has taken the lead, they need help with start up costs and ongoing operational expenses.  We are currently seeking private as well as public funding to help the program become financially sustainable.  Community support is the most critical element in our efforts to provide care and hope to these service members who have sacrificed so much for our country.
