The purpose of the organization is to provide opportunities and stability to at-risk veterans in Sheridan County by building a veteran home community with support services and potential employment opportunities.
“For many Veterans experiencing homelessness, moving into permanent housing is the first step toward the stability and independence they deserve,” VA Secretary Denis McDonough
Founded in 2020, Veteran Village - AMNACS is here to fill a need.
We will provide a “next step” between group living and being completely on their own - the goal is to reduce relapse in substance abuse, reduce veteran suicide and promote self-purpose through volunteerism. We will be building 50 small homes for at-risk Veterans in Sheridan County. Each home will be equipped with a pet door and yard for service animals. Additionally, the homes will be situated in pods, so while the veterans will have independent living, neighbors are close for support and assistance. We have land! It is located on E. 5th St. The land is 14 acres with easy access to Sheridan. We will build 50 units, a services center, an auditorium and a greenhouse in this space.
