We had a great conversation this week on Fox 5 DC's Good Day DC about our new Veterans Connection Hub!

CEO Darryl Vincent and Quandrea Patterson, executive director of U.S.VETS Washington, D.C., shared how the hub helps veterans stay housed, employed, connected to critical resources and on a path toward long-term stability and healing.

We're grateful for the opportunity to spread the word and ensure veterans know they don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. Drop-ins are welcome.

We’re relishing the growing presence of veterans in our new one-stop Veterans Connection Hub centrally located in the main business district.

Our hub at 1575 I St. NW provides prevention-focused, community-based support including career services, mental health counseling, housing assistance, su***de prevention, after care and peer support, all designed to stop veteran homelessness before it starts. Upstream support follows a long-term decline in the number of unhoused veterans locally and a shifting landscape of need among veterans and their families.

Opened with support from FOX Corporation—which contributed $2 million toward hub expansions nationwide—and in collaboration with healthcare and veteran housing provider Brighton Marine Inc., the hub brings together proven programs U.S.VETS has piloted across the country. Supportive services are designed to foster stability for veterans who struggle to adjust to civilian life or lack the resources to rebuild their futures.

These last few months have been inspiring, seeing our veteran clients meeting with case managers, working in the computer lab, attending career and resource fairs, and enjoying camaraderie!
