Emergency Shelter and Case Management for Veterans at Opportunity House

Opportunity House in Reading, Pennsylvania runs a Veterans Program with a case manager and provides emergency shelter for veterans and others who are homeless and need emergency shelter.

Both men and women veterans are accepted. The shelter also serves others who are homeless and need emergency shelter.

Opportunity House works closely with the Lebanon VA Medical Center to provide the services veterans need to get back on their feet. From healthcare and mental health services to housing vouchers and drug and alcohol treatment, the program connects you with the resources you need to become stably housed. A case manager can also help with things like completing forms to get access to the VA hospital system.
