About Delaware Center for Homeless Veterans
Mission: The Delaware Center for Homeless Veterans was founded on the belief that Veterans' needs are of the utmost importance. DCHV is committed to ending Veterans' homelessness in Delaware.
Our mission centers around two main goals-- housing and supportive services.
Our housing goal is to provide safe, affordable housing coupled with supportive services for each Veteran in need. Our supportive services goal is to reintegrate, educate, empower and advocate for homeless Veterans and their families who are at-risk of homelessness, while simultaneously strengthening the impact of other community-based organizations.

By providing housing first and ending the cycle of homelessness for Veterans and supplying them with supportive services that they themselves identify as needed to combat future homelessness, we are able to fully support their long-term goals of obtaining recovery, economic self-sufficiency, independence, and community reintegration.

OUR GOALS:
- Provide safe, affordable permanent housing for our Veterans.
- Assist with Veterans' reintegration into the workforce to achieve greater economic self-sufficiency.
- Provide ongoing engagement with the VA Medical Center and its services as it relates to substance abuse, physical and mental health, and employment.
- Create self-sufficient Veterans who are active members of the community, relying on the principle that the creation of social capital for our Veterans is in direct relation to the human capital they provide to the community.
