Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary won a $5000 grant from Dignity Memorial® for use at the Veterans Community Project (VCP) in Longmont, Colorado. This grant will completely outfit the inside of a Tiny Home for one lucky Veteran.
VCP Longmont is a crossover venture between Veterans Community Project, the City of Longmont, and HMS Development. Located on a 2-acre property, approximately 13 miles northeast of Boulder, the Village will feature 26 tiny houses and a 3,000-square foot Community Center. Each single residency home is 240-square feet; the Village's five family homes are 340-square feet and can sleep up to 7.
VCP’s solution can provide Veterans a home of their own and individualized, wraparound support services that not only help get them back on their feet but ensure they continue standing.
The VCP Village consists of tiny homes that provide everything a Veterans needs to live with dignity and security: new furniture, appliances, housewares, bedding, and utilities- all free of charge. The Village Community Center provides on-site support services as well as a place for residents to socialize and build a strong network of support with other Veterans.
Veterans Community Project is truly the community's project. Each year, thousands of volunteers help build tiny houses, organize donation drives, host fundraisers, or find other creative ways to serve those who served us. As the weather improves, Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary Club is planning to get involved with an all-Club Service Project to support our Veterans in a hands-on way. In the meantime, Sunrise Rotarians were happy to furnish one tiny home with the $5,000 grant from Dignity Memorial®.
