Find Housing for Veterans Experiencing Homelessness in Manatee County

Contact Info

As their first steps, Veterans can contact:

1) JFCS OMAP (Operation Military Assistance Program) at 941-366-2224, Ext 194

2) St. Vincent de Paul Hope in Action at 941-794-1328. 

3) Veterans Village at 941-896-9714 (usually a 3-6 month program)

Note: Both JFCS and St. Vincent de Paul distribute HUD-VASH vouchers and are an access point for resources.

MCVS is also excited about the Tunnels to Towers complex that is being built in Manatee County. While completion is not expected until sometime in 2025, interested Veterans should call 718-987-1931.

Veterans can also call MCVS at 941-745-3795 and provide an email or mailing address and MCVS will send other Housing and Utilities Resources. Veterans are also encouraged to make an appointment with MCVS to see if there are any other benefits or increases from the VA for which they qualify.
