PLOT PLAN
Part 2 Mission: Rapid Re-Housing Project – November 11 Move-in Target Date.
The resources of CSF and St. Vincent de Paul Cares are creating a coordinated impact to provide veterans enrolled in their SSVF (Supported Services for Veterans and Families) Program with shared/permanent housing.
The SSVF Program assists very low-income Veteran families residing in or transitioning to permanent housing, while providing a range of supportive services that are designed to promote housing stability. This support bridges the gap from an immediate crisis-such as abuse or homelessness-into permanent housing.
The project’s goal is to offer a safe space in which veterans can process their trauma, work on the issues that led to their homelessness, and build a supportive network that will help them in the future.
CSF recently purchased single family homes in South St. Petersburg. These properties will be renovated and made available to St. Vincent de Paul Cares for use by homeless U.S. veterans needing housing.
