Our vision

“Community isn't just part of our name, it's part of our DNA.”

Using the success of Kansas City as a blueprint, VCP has adopted a vision to prevent and end Veteran homelessness across the nation, beginning in St. Louis, Missouri.

On September 9, 2021, VCP broke ground on the St. Louis Village, a nearly 4-acre property located on Aldine Avenue between Spring Avenue and N. Grand Avenue.

Purchased largely from the city's land bank (LRA), the Veterans Community Project of St. Louis campus includes a village of 50 tiny homes, a Village Community Center, and a VCP Outreach Center.

This new campus will not only provide critical resources to St. Louis metro-area Veterans, it will:

  • Beautify a once blighted area, increasing property values of surrounding homes and businesses

  • Provide ongoing opportunities for community volunteerism

  • Strengthen St. Louis' social services sector

  • Become as a source of civic pride
     

Join the Mission

Community isn't just part of our name; it's part of our DNA. Veterans Community Project is funded by individuals, foundations, and corporations who want to do more than thank a Veteran for their service.

Over the next year, thousands of community volunteers will help build VCP Village and thousands more will help us serve Veterans through the VCP Outreach Center for years to come.

VCP is St. Louis' community project.

Now is your opportunity to permanently leave your mark on this life-changing, community-changing mission. Join us in this compelling vision and help serve those who served us.
