NVHS Signature Programs
NVHS offers three programs created to tackle the needs of veterans experiencing homelessness in Brevard County. We have built a network of community partners and are expanding our outreach activities rapidly across Central Florida to meet the needs of our veterans in the region. After reviewing our programs, please consider joining our efforts as a volunteer, leader, or sponsoring partner. It takes us all to get it done!
Our Search & Rescue program is a street-level outreach program designed to swiftly locate homeless veterans, provide them with basic needs to ensure survival, and connect them with housing, employment, and benefit assistance providers to get them off the streets permanently.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is a widely misunderstood condition that many combat veterans suffer from. It is a complex issue that affects each individual differently. Our PTSA program stands for Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness, Action, and Anonymity. PTSD needs to be addressed in our communities and in our homes.
Which comes first, the job or the home? Sometimes veterans are homeless because of joblessness, but sometimes they are jobless because of homelessness. NVHS offers a drug and alcohol free housing environment for homeless and transitioning veterans while they seek employment, get back on their feet, and attempt to rejoin society.
