The Southeastern Mass Veterans Housing Program inc was founded in 1990 by a group of Vietnam veterans as well as local community leaders. It is a private, nonprofit corporation known as the Veterans Transition House. Originally having just ten single rooms for occupancy, it has now expanded to 50 beds for males veterans and is in the process of building 10 beds for female veterans. The Graduate program has 17 units of supportive housing. The mission of the VTH Graduate Programs is to provide independent, affordable, structured, drug and alcohol-free houses to veterans in order that they can use the lessons learned in the initial VTH program with the goal of achieving successful independent living within the community. So far the Southeastern Massachusetts Veterans Housing Program provided aid to over 2,000 veterans.
