Since opening its doors in 2002, Homes for the Brave has provided housing and services to more than 400 individuals. The Homes for the Brave Living Skills Recovery Center operates as a collaboration between Applied Behavioral Rehabilitation Institute (ABRI), Chemical Abuse Services Agency (CASA), the State of Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS), and the US Department of Veterans Affairs, VA Connecticut Healthcare System (VA CT). The collaboration strives to prepare homeless individuals with the skills necessary to reenter the world as productive members of society.
Homes for the Brave is open to male veterans and non-veterans who struggle with psychiatric and/or substance abuse problems and who are homeless. Veterans returning from service face higher than average rates of mental illness, especially Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and substance abuse. According to national averages, 76% of homeless veterans experience alcohol, drug, and/or mental problems.1 Homes for the Brave focuses on individuals who demonstrate a motivation to live and work in the community.
