Malachi House Veteran’s Housing Program

“Helping People Help Themselves Out of Poverty and Homelessness”

The Malachi House Veteran’s Housing program is a holistic approach to meeting the needs of the homeless veteran population.  This project include transitional housing, career counseling, clinical counseling, medical assistance, and services for the female veteran’s children.  Our goal is to serve homeless female veterans and their families with excellence so that they will  have all of their needs met and will receive personal development, medical assistance for healthy living and substance abuse assistance so that they are empowered to help themselves become  productive citizens returning to mainstream society.  Our first priority is female veterans and then we will expand our services to other veterans. The MHI has 10 beds for homeless veterans, which consist of several duplexes and single dwelling residents.

      Malachi House International will provide life skills training that will enable the veterans to become self-sufficiency and help them to help themselves out of poverty and homelessness.  By adopting a holistic approach to homelessness, MHI will incorporate the PEACE (Personal Empowerment and Career Enrichment) program and other life skills training to aid in helping the veterans receive personal development and coaching services. Career counseling is provided to assist the veterans in effectively searching and obtaining employment.  Focus is placed on developing a resume, researching the job market, preparing for a job interview and other career enhancing skills. The Malachi House will also provide case management and educational services for veterans to receive all of their entitlement and program services and support.

   The Malachi House International, Inc. and Veterans Administration Medical Center in Hampton, VA will collaborate to assist homeless female veterans. Hampton VA HCHV Coordinator, Healing Waters  Counseling & Training Center and the MHI Program Director and Case management team will work closely together to determine specific services to make available to the veterans to include "mainstream resources."  The main stream resources are federal and state benefits government assistance programs that are based upon the veteran's disability and/or economic status. Also in partnership with Healing Waters Counseling Center, veterans will receive clinical and family counseling.  Malachi House will work together with community organizations such as United Way, LINK and James A. Fields House to provide community services so that the veterans can gain general knowledge and develop leadership skills.  Malachi House will also work with the Virginia Employment Commission to assist the veterans in job searches and professional development.
