Robert L. Miller Sr. Veteran's Center

We are proud to announce the newest addition to the Center for the Homeless family at 747 S. Michigan. When complete, this beautiful facility will welcome 25 male veterans, with bedrooms, baths, a kitchenette, a gathering room that opens into the Community garden, and a front desk, offices and conference area. Veterans will be assigned a therapist and coach the day they check in, and will have access to drug and alcohol treatment, individual and group therapy, clothes and meals, and the help they need to reintegrate into society. They will be given support as they come to grips with PTSD, medical issues and, for many, years on the streets.

On November 11, 2011, we opened the doors to the Robert L. Miller Sr. Veteran's Center! We gratefully acknowledge our partners and the countless businesses and individuals who continue to contribute and make our grant funds stretch. We ask for your support—financial and in-kind donations, as well as volunteer hours still needed to bring this veterans home to fruition. And we thank and honor former Judge Robert L. Miller, Sr., who’s motto is “gotta hurry, it’s late!” and who continually inspires us to work harder, give back more generously, and thank those who have given their lives for us.
