The DRRTP serves Veterans with mental health and substance use disorders who are also experiencing homelessness.

One of the key components of the program is the therapeutic value of community work, and therefore, the goal of obtaining community work when prepared, and as soon as possible must be one of the expressed goals for every resident coming into the program.
