The only place that has loved me without judgement, or being creepy. Thanks be to God for the New England Center and Home for Veterans.

See how you can offer to help this amazing organization!
Only speaking for myself. Helped me a great deal. Going in it was a down and out time in my life. Case MGMT. for ME changed my life. It was provided to me professionally, with great direction. Always available and caring, also when required going above and beyond.
Great place for Veterans to get Support...Housing....Employment and other Services they may need...
They are a five-star Establishment..
I was staying at the Parker House Hotel at $340.00 per evening in 1997..I was having difficulty with alcoholism and asked GOD to help me. I left my posh hotel room within five minutes after my prayer and walked into the shelter where I was welcomed with such compassion and understanding. I stayed ten days and have not found it necessary to take another drink since that time. I will always honor and respect the Men I met during that time.
I hope and pray that the Men who enter the facility today realize and listen to the blessed instructions of the Men who are there to help other brother Veterans.
Remember......you have to do the footwork.
Best,

Safe, professional, know their stuff. Truly help homeless veterans.
Very nice place to stay for our vets , very good staff , clean and very comfortable.
Actual homeless shelter. Twice as many beds per room than the Salvation Army Austin on Red River. Many sketchy people, some staff members too. Avoid, although they do have offices on the second floor that help veterans. Too many cigarette smokers. Some are very nice residents.
This center has changed a lot over the last few years. As a former client, resident, and employee of this center, I can see the difference so easy. No longer do you have to wait a long period of time for housing. This place, along with it's case managers and housing staff, strive to help veterans achieve what has eluded them in the past. They really do want to end the cycle of homelessness. I am proud to say I am about to have my own apt because of them. Keep up the good work. There are many more veterans who want nothing more than to stand on their own two feet again.
I am not a vet but I do have a few things to share. By the grace of God I got sober in March 2011. I spent a lot of time trying to find a meeting that I felt comfortable going to. Among other places, the Vet's Center was a great fit for me. The meetings are every night but Tues. Before the renovation began the meeting was held in the dining area. Then they moved us to the basement, which is a much smaller space. I received my 8 month chip here, as well as my 3 year medallion. I have a great deal of gratitude for the NEVS. Also, my late husband, who was a Vietnam veteran, ran into trouble about 15 years ago and stayed at the center for a short time. This allowed him to get back on his feet. It's a great place for services.
