Designed by veterans and nationally recognized for its innovation, Cabins for Veterans proudly serves Lake City. Veterans experiencing homelessness are served at our Veteran’s program featuring 31 efficiency apartments in a rural, relaxed wooded sanctuary close to the VA hospital. For recreation, veterans enjoy a community room, gardening, grills, and horseshoe pits. Other amenities include a pet friendly atmosphere, screened patios, personal mailboxes and laundry facilities. Individuals are expected to pay 30% of their income toward rent, and basic utilities are included. If a person has no income, they are not expected to pay rent until they begin to receive income.
The program strives to promote the self-sufficiency of veterans who have experienced homelessness by providing a safe and affordable place to live. The agency serves these veterans through our Housing, Health Services, and Training/Education/Employment services.
