The VTH serves 52 homeless. In addition, the VTH Graduate Programs provides housing for 17 additional veterans as well as operating Network House, a 10-bed civilian program. The Women Veterans Transition House (WVTH) will provide a program for 10 female veterans.

“I never really lived far from a coast. So New Bedford is a very comfortable community I truly appreciate. I also have a great respect for Veterans, as my father was a veteran of the Korean War, earned numerous commendations while serving in the US Navy and spent the remainder of his life in Law Enforcement. I have traveled the world and experienced many cultures, learning from the many differences and similarities of all people. It is natural to me that I ended up in Human Services” stated Ms. Trundy
