The Veterans Transitional Supportive Program (VTSP) is a collaborative effort by the Rhode Island Veterans Home and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to assist homeless veterans in their return to community living. The objectives of treatment are to have each veteran achieve an optimal level of functioning mentally, physically, vocationally and socially so when community housing is located they will not experience homelessness again. Residents typically can remain in the program from six months to a year where they are assisted with substance abuse treatment, work therapy, case management services, individual counseling, medical and psychiatric treatment and discharge planning. Each veteran is expected to develop an individualized treatment plan and work with his/her case manager to resolve those issues which contributed to his homelessness.
