New England Center and Home for Veterans

The New England Center and Home for Veterans (NECHV) is one of the Nation's largest private community-based providers of human services to Veterans who are experiencing challenges following their military service. Now in its third decade, the NECHV is a private institution with a very public mission of offering a broad array of programs and services that enable success, reintegration, meaningful employment, and independent living. The NECHV is a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit, community-based support organization dedicated to serving challenged Veterans of all eras. The NECHV was founded in 1989 as a shelter for Veterans experiencing the disruptive condition of homelessness; it has transformed its focus to a Veteran-centric health and wellness service provider. The Center now offers more effective and timely services for the most disaffected and vulnerable Veterans by providing more prevention and wellness focus programs. The NECHV serves Veterans in need from every era including those from the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, regardless of where they lived or may travel.
