A Message from Our Executive Director
As the Executive Director of the Veterans & Community Housing Coalition (VCHC), I am deeply honored to lead our mission of providing essential support and services to Veterans and their families facing homelessness.
At VCHC, we are committed to ensuring that every Veteran has access to stable housing, financial independence, and critical resources like healthcare. Through a compassionate, person-centered approach, we work tirelessly to restore hope and create new opportunities for those who have bravely served our country.
Our success would not be possible without our dedicated team, generous supporters, and strong community partnerships. Together, we are making a profound impact—helping Veterans rebuild their lives and regain the stability they deserve.
I invite you to join us in this mission. Explore our programs, get involved, and help us honor and support the heroes who have sacrificed so much for us all.

A Message from the President
As President of the Board of Directors for the Veterans & Community Housing Coalition (VCHC), I am immensely proud of the profound impact this organization has made in our communities. Through our proven, high-success programs, we have helped thousands of Veterans transition from homelessness to stable housing, saving lives and rebuilding families along the way.
It is a true honor to support America’s heroes, but we cannot do it alone. As a nonprofit, VCHC relies on the strength of community partnerships and the generosity of people like you. I encourage everyone to step up, get involved, and help us in our mission to provide a home for those who have served our country.
Together, we can make a lasting impact and ensure that no Veteran is left without a place to call home.
Norman McFarlane, Esquire
