For more than 50 years, VRS Communities has been a cornerstone in creating housing solutions and services in British Columbia.

Initially established as a non-profit organization dedicated to serving individuals with disabilities, seniors, and families, VRS Communities has since expanded its expertise and leadership through the  Veteran Housing & Support Program (VHSP), which focuses on supporting veterans who are homeless or at risk
of homelessness.
 
In collaboration with the Centre of Clinical Excellence and inspired by the Housing First principle,  VRS Communities offers a supportive transitional housing facility for up to 12 months, helping veterans reintegrate back into society.

The comprehensive support services provided include:

• Individualized Development Plan
  
• Exercise and physical activity.
• Sleep Optimization
• Nutrition
• Stress Management, and Mindfulness
• Life Coaching and Practical Skills
• Routine building

All services are delivered in a safe, stable housing environment.

The goal of the VHP is to empower Canadian veterans to achieve independent living and active community engagement. This is accomplished by providing a safe, drug- and alcohol-free, and structured supportive transitional housing program, which enables participants to overcome barriers, improve their quality of life, and successfully reintegrate into civilian life.
