Mission Statement:
Massachusetts Bay Veterans Center
At the Massachusetts Bay Veterans Center (MBVC), veterans are welcomed home.
At MBVC, veterans find themselves in a safe, clean, and compassionate environment where they can make connections to employment opportunities, long-term independent housing, substance abuse counseling, and mental health care.
Many veterans arrive after being homeless for years, empty-handed, seeking a safe place to learn how to cope with addiction or mental illness. It’s a community where veterans have the time and resources to take care of themselves, create relationships with one another, and get the support they need to rebuild their independence.
Located in Somerville, MBVC provides 22 transitional and 7 permanent units of housing to formerly homeless veterans.
Services include:
* Transitional and Permanent Housing Options
* Case Management Services
* Housing Assistance
* Employment Assistance
* Mental Health Services
* Community Reintegration
* Individual and Group Counseling
* Life Skills Training
* Linkage to VA Resources
