ALL CASE MANAGEMENT ACTIVITES ARE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE LASTING RESULTS IN THE AREAS OF HEALTH AND WELL-BEING; OPPORTUNITY, EDUCATION AND TRAINING; MONEY MANAGEMENT; EARNINGS AND INCOME STABILITY; AND SUPPORT NETWORK.

  • EXPANSION:THE NEED TO FIX VETERAN HOMELESSNESS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE, WITH VETERANS SLEEPING ON CITY STREETS AND IN CITY PARKS EVERYWHERE ACROSS THE NATION. THIS PROGRAM STARTS BY RAISING AWARENESS OF THE NEED FOR TRANSITIONAL HOUSING AND WRAPAROUND SERVICES IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AS CITY OFFICIALS IN OTHER COMMUNITIES COME TO UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT THE WORK IS, VCP WILL TEAM UP WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND OFFICIALS TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF THE PROGRAM IN THE RESPECTIVE COMMUNITIES. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)EXPANSION (CONTINUED):WHEN VCP HAS DETERMINED A LOCATION IS SUITABLE AND SUSTAINABLE, IT WILL: COLLABORATE WITH LOCAL PARTNERS TO SECURE THE RIGHT LOCATION/LAND, RAISE FUNDING TO CONSTRUCT THE TINY HOMES AND VILLAGE CENTER, IDENTIFY AND PLAN FOR VETERAN OUTREACH SERVICES, ESTABLISH RELATIONSHIPS WITH PARTNER AGENCIES, BEGIN ESTABLISHING A LEVEL OF TRUST WITH HOMELESS AND/OR NEAR HOMELESS VETERANS, HIRE AND TRAIN LOCAL STAFF, AND PROVIDED ONGOING GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT. TOGETHER WE WILL BUILD A VILLAGE TO CREATE THE SAFE SPACES THAT ARE ESSENTIAL FOR VETERANS TO START REBUILDING THEIR LIVES. TOGETHER, WE'RE MAKING SURE EVERY VETERAN HAS A SAFE PLACE TO CALL HOME.

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.
