Activities or mission (Part I)

VVSD CONNECTS WITH AMERICAN VETERANS TO OVERCOME THEIR HOMELESSNESS AND RELATED CHALLENGES.

  • Vietnam Veterans of San Diego dba Veterans Village of San Diego (VVSD) is a non-profit corporation founded in 1981. VVSD supports 3,100 of Americas veterans each year, helping them to overcome homelessness and related challenges. As the only licensed residential drug treatment program for homeless veterans in San Diego County, VVSD provides a Comprehensive Continuum of Care (Prevention, Intervention, Treatment & Aftercare) to veterans and their families. Our mission extends assistance to Veterans and their families beyond the basic food, clothing, and shelter.Emergency and transitional housing are coupled with personalized case management services for substance use recovery, mental health counseling, job training/job search assistance, legal services, and much more. This integrated approach addresses their fundamental needs, but also provides an opportunity to introduce alternative healing activities, which are found to be equally beneficial in the recovery process.VVSD is the founder of both Stand Down and Homeless Court, which began in 1987 and 1990, respectively. Both programs address a broad spectrum of services, and help to remove barriers for securing housing, employment, and social services. Stand Down is the point of entry for many of these brave men and women. Today, more than 300 Stand Downs have been replicated across our nation, and many major cities have established their own Homeless Court.VVSD operates the Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic, which provides confidential, high-quality mental health services at low-to-no-cost to post-9/11 veterans (including National Guard and Reserves), their families, and the families of active duty service members, including spouse or partner, children, parents, siblings, caregivers, and others. VVSD Escondido, LLC is a single member LLC owned by VVSD. VVSD Escondido, LLC operates a permanent supportive housing project in Escondido, California consisting of 54 units known as Veterans Villas.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
