Celebrated Events

In every organization, events occur that deserve to be recognized; and employees are honored who deserve to feel proud. Within VISN 4, we call these "celebrated events." In 2015, our Network's celebrated events included visits from dignitaries, prestigious awards that recognize demonstrated excellence, and positive progress with efforts to end homelessness among Veterans.

Ending Veteran Homelessness

The Housing Authorities of Chester County, Delaware County and Montgomery County received additional Departments of Housing and Urban Development and Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) vouchers in April 2015. $530,266 in HUD-VASH vouchers were awarded between the counties. Coatesville VA Medical Center administers a total of 444 vouchers across these three counties.

Erie VA Medical Center's Homeless Care Team continues to lead the way in providing quick, permanent housing to homeless Veterans. On average, it takes 44 days from the day a Veteran enrolls in the HUD-VASH Program to the day they have permanent housing which puts Erie in the top 10 percent in the Nation for helping Veterans secure permanent housing quickly. In 2015, Erie's Homeless Care Team helped 86 Veterans find a place to call home. The Team continues to provide regular weekly, even daily, outreaches to community shelters and homeless agencies in efforts to help identify homeless Veterans and connect them with services designed to help get them back on their feet.
