The Resource Center is open seven days a week, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and focuses on assisting homeless individuals who want to attain safe, permanent housing.  Upon admission, each member works with his/her case manager on an individualized treatment plan geared toward attaining AND sustaining permanent housing.  Depending on their particular needs, members are assigned specific classes & workshops offered throughout the week.  Some of the core classes include a Housing Workshop, Relationship Skills, Anger Management, Computer Skills, Interview Training, and an Addiction Recovery group.  Members are also assigned daily chores, depending on their abilities.  The chores promote team work and a sense of community as well as keep program areas clean and tidy.  In The Resource Center, members enjoy access to laundry facilities, showers, a computer lab, and meals in the VMC dining hall.  There is also a self-serve resource area with phones and a wealth of information on attaining medical/mental health care, jobs or job training, higher education, or intensive treatment programs addressing issues that might derail housing goals.   

The primary focus of the VMC Resource Center is to assist homeless individuals to move from the streets to a home of their own through permanent supportive housing utilizing case management services.  Since the inception of this program, over 450 individuals have chosen to leave the streets and move into permanent supportive housing with 93% of those still in housing today.
