I feel that the VOA has a strong passion for working with Veterans and their families. It has become a standard that no Veteran is turned away. If he/she is not eligible for any of the VOA programs, staff will find a program or resource that they are eligible for. The VOA has definitely made a committment to Veterans and their families.

Non-profit that provides transistional housing for veterans in Niles, Lansing and Detroit. The program provides everything from food, clothing, job support and case management. The clients here are great and are very fun to work with. Highly recommend it.

This is wonderful organization and fills the gap in peoples lives. Getting Veterans off the street and rebuilding thier self esteem is vital to the work the VOA does daily. Housing up to 60 homeless Veterans a night in Lansing alone is a huge undertaking and also housing 18 homeless Veterans in Niles Michigan goes a long way to helping keep these men off the streets and safe and warm.

Volunteers of America, Michigan has programs for Veterans across the state. They have transitional housing programs in Detroit, Lansing, and Niles, and also have an employment program for women and families. The service they do for homeless Veterans is exciting, rewarding, and effective for those that have contributed so much to our great country.
