Green Doors
Green Doors provides transitional housing and access to supportive services for homeless veterans, through its Transitional Veterans Re-Entry Housing program. This flagship program serves roughly 60 male and female veterans annually in houses throughout South and Southeast Austin.
Green Doors’ “scattered site” model was developed in response to the specific needs of the homeless veterans it serves. In order to enroll in the program an individual must have reached the point in his/her transition from homelessness that he/she is ready and committed to achieving independent living. The scattered sites mimic living arrangements after program exit, and offer veteran residents the opportunity to assimilate and adopt many of the life skills necessary to successfully transition, including money management, being good neighbors, and obtaining income through sustained employment.
