The Steps House, Inc. Homeless Veterans Program was designed to break the cycle of homelessness among our Veteran population addressing any possible addiction issues, financial issues and legal issues while providing a strict, disciplined environment that is a highly structured course on recovery from addiction, life skills, discipline and responsibility. Our goal is to carry the message to our Veterans who suffer from homelessness that they can change their lives if they have the willingness to do what it takes to be independent. Steps House Homeless Veterans Program requires a strong commitment and the only requirement to live here is that you must be a qualifying Veteran and be willing to do whatever it takes to gain a new way of life. |
