Hope for Veterans® Programs
Community Hope is the largest nonprofit serving homeless veterans and families in New Jersey.
We address a major underlying source of veterans’ homelessness: High rates of mental illness, trauma and substance abuse and the challenges are increasing. Roughly half the soldiers who served in Iraq and Afghanistan have been diagnosed with mental health conditions, including one in five that suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.
Through our Hope for Veterans Programs, we have rescued over 6,000 veterans and their families from homelessness and despair. We provide transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, rapid re-housing and homelessness prevention. The services we provide are essential to our veterans and include mental health counseling, transportation and employment counseling.
We believe that those who honorably served our country and defended our freedom deserve a roof over their heads and to live with dignity.

Permanent Supportive Housing
The first veteran to move into our newly-constructed Valley Brook Village in October 2013 had served in Vietnam and had been homeless for decades. When he opened the door to his one-bedroom apartment, he had the first place to call home in more years then he could remember.
