A Community Thrives

The One Billion Acts of Peace Campaign has chosen The Veterans Community Project (VCP) as a finalist from more than eight million submissions around the world for its annual Billion Acts Hero Award. https://www.billionacts.org/hero- awards-voting The prestigious honor recognizes projects, people and organizations that are addressing systemic global issues and driving change.
VCP was selected as one of twelve finalists and will compete with one other organization in the “Best Community Act” category. In a letter to VCP, Billion Acts said that the group was nominated “for the reach, scope and impact of The Veteran’s Community Project and your commitment to eliminate Veteran homelessness.”
VCP was founded a year ago by four Veterans to meet the needs of homeless Veterans. It is building a “Veterans Village” of 50 tiny homes as transitional housing for homeless Veterans and an onsite community center to provide continuing support services.
