Through collaborations in the community and in partnership with various government agencies, the staff helps formerly homeless Veterans become successfully housed each year.

The NECHV's on-site Veterans Training School (VTS) provides Veterans with necessary training and job skills to obtain and retain competitive employment in today's ever-changing market. VTS offers vocational training in the fields of commercial driving, security, and computer systems that can result in certification and accelerated placement with local companies. The Center has strong relationships with and frequently helps place Veterans with many firms, including The Kraft Group, The Home Depot, Allied Barton Security Services, Paul Revere Transportation, and Dunkin' Donuts Brands. The Veterans Training School also offers a robust program of life- skills training courses including credit repair and personal financial planning, employment readiness, resume creation, money management, and computer fundamentals.

The Veteran 360 Program is a flagship behavioral health program for Veterans with co-occurring or a dual diagnosis of severe mental illness and/or substance use disorder. The program provides clinical case management and supportive counseling specific to the needs of individual Veterans “where they are at.” The Veteran Recovery Program provides a recovery-focused, residential, post-detox service within a sober, therapeutic community to reduce the relapse rate among Veterans seeking a sober lifestyle. The Senior Veteran Wellness Program serves Veterans age 55 and older who are facing homelessness and assists with medication management, life skills, healthcare issues and managing substance use; all with the ultimate goal of achieving permanent and sustainable independent living. The Senior Veteran Wellness Program also features a rehabilitative and recreational Stay-In-Program to provide daytime therapeutic and educational groups, outings, activities, and training, and it affords access to a specialized senior services clinician. The Center's Safe Haven Program provides a recovery model of supportive housing that serves hard-to-reach Veterans who continue to struggle with barriers to stability and sobriety.
