The Veterans Transition Center's mission is to end Veteran homelessness one hero at a time by providing vital resources and empowering them to move from crisis to self-sufficiency.
The Veterans Transition Center of California (VTC) provides wrap around vital services including housing and resources to homeless and at-risk Veterans to help them move from crisis to self-sufficiency. Since 1986, this non-profit 501 (c)(3) has operated on the historic Fort Ord land providing meals, clothing, housing, transportation, to homeless or previously incarcerated Veterans. We are one of the very few programs in the Nation that welcomes Veterans, and their families, as well as their pets.
The primary focus is helping homeless Veterans by providing housing, food, and a safe place to live while removing their barriers in weekly case management sessions.
I was released from Folsom State Prison in March 2022, after a 32-year sentence. The invaluable support of case managers at VTC played a pivotal role supporting me and helping me maintain my focus. They guided me with patience and without being overbearing, enabling me to regain my independence and even purchase a car. This fresh beginning allowed me to reconnect with my family, reuniting with my daughter and son, that I hadn't seen in nearly four decades. The depth of their love for me took me by surprise, motivating me to remain on the right path. My children now stand as my constant wellspring of inspiration as I continue my journey, and the Veterans Transition Center of California has evolved into my extended family.
