Programs

Housing

In addition to our SSVF program, which assists with permanent housing, we also provide transitional housing to homeless veterans. This program is for veterans who have faced a variety of challenges, and are in need of the counseling and case management services necessary to enable them to move on to permanent housing and independent, productive lives.

The rent for these transitional slots is based upon a veteran’s income and subsidized by the Barnstable Housing Authority. If you are a homeless veteran in need, and willing to commit to a program intended to provide you the types of assistance you require, please call us and apply.

Scholarship Program

This year the Cape & Islands Veterans Outreach Center is pleased to announce we will award five $1,000 scholarships, four to high school students who belong to a veteran family going to college, and a fifth is awarded to a student veteran currently enrolled in college.

The scholarships are awarded directly to the recipient. Scholarships may be used to offset book costs, lab fees and any other costs associated with attending an accredited college or post-secondary trade or vocational school.

Community Outreach Programs

The Outreach Department provides a connection for veterans to services, providers, and programs they need and want. These important programs empower the veteran and provide camaraderie, socialization, maintained independence, and a chance to feel that bond with their fellow veterans that they felt when they were in the service. 
The Outreach Team also provides professional leadership, resources and education in the community; delivering presentations at local gatherings, addressing community audiences, and providing programs that meet veteran’s needs. We collaborate with schools, first responders, civic organizations, councils on aging, places of worship, other veteran organizations, mental health professionals, and veteran families.


Unique Outreach Programs to look for annually:

  • Stand Down for Veterans Cape Cod
  • Student & Veteran Scholarship and Community Awards Night
  • Veterans Town Hall
  • Veterans Rock!: Club 9 Ball Music Festival
  • The Albatross Vessel Fishing Trip

Your support provides access to healthy food, a place to call home, professional counseling, referrals, and more.
