Providing homeless Veterans with the tools for independent living. https://linktr.ee/NECHV

The Center was created in 1990 as the nation’s first and largest Veteran-specific homeless shelter. It began as a 100-bed, emergency facility in a surplus VA office building, and by 1991 was recognized as the 142nd “Point of Light” by President George H.W. Bush during his administration. Since that time, the NECHV has continued to improve its specialized model for Veterans. The Center has developed a comprehensive residential treatment program (serving over 300 veterans at any given time) comprised of the emergency housing and transitional housing program, including specialized housing for female homeless Veterans in the NECHV Women’s Dormitory Program. NECHV also provides extensive services in substance abuse counseling, post detox, mental health, case management, accessing the Veterans Administration system, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), pre-employment training, post-incarceration re-integration, job placement, housing placement, dental and medical treatment, and daily hot meals.

With deep sadness, we learned from the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans (NCHV), the national advocacy agency for Veterans that Mr. Ralph Cooper, a co-founder of the NCHV, passed away in September, at the age of 85.

A United States Air Force Veteran, Ralph dedicated decades to helping fellow Veterans access housing, benefits, and supportive services. He helped establish the NCHV in 1990 and was a prominent voice of leadership and advocacy here in Massachusetts in his role as Executive Director of the Veterans Benefits Clearinghouse in Roxbury, Massachusetts, which assisted Veterans and their families, with particular attention to Veterans of color. Throughout his career, Ralph remained a mentor, advocate, and friend to generations of people working to end Veteran homelessness in this nation.

The New England Center and Home for Veterans is proud to be able to carry on the legacy and work of Mr. Ralph Cooper.
