15 for 15 Campaign
In many cultures, the number "15" symbolizes creativity, self-expression, personal growth, and transformation. It also represents rest and fulfillment.
That's why Veterans Outreach of Pennsylvania (VOPA) decided to build 15 tiny homes as part of our mission to combat veteran homelessness. Our goal is to provide support and access to services that help veterans lead lives filled with renewed strength and purpose.
On June 10, 2024, VOPA opened its doors to veterans experiencing homelessness. Thanks to dedicated partnerships with contractors, donors, and volunteers, this newly created space is now serving as both a sanctuary and a central hub for veterans to collaborate with VOPA staff and community partners to address the root causes of their homelessness.
Approximately fifteen percent of homeless veterans are classified as "chronically homeless," meaning they face long-term homelessness and significant, ongoing challenges. In response, VOPA has adopted the evidence-based Therapeutic Community (TC) model to bring lasting healing, independence and strength. This approach involves intensive engagement, extended care, and a strong focus on peer-to-peer support, recognizing the critical role of community in helping these veterans overcome their struggles.
You can make a difference by donating just $15 a month --which amounts to $1 a month for each of our 15 tiny homes. Your support will help VOPA continue its vital mission to end veteran homelessness and cover the cost of essential daily needs, such as food, heat, electricity, water, and transportation.
We need your assistance to succeed in our shared mission. Together, we can and will eliminate veteran homelessness in our community. Join us in helping to lift the burden of homelessness from local veterans.
