Low demandthis program is one of the models within the overarching veterans in progress transitional housing program. The low demand program assists homeless veterans, primarily chronically homeless veterans, who suffer from mental-health or substance-use problems, or who struggle with maintaining sobriety; and veterans with multiple treatment failures that may have never received treatment services or may have been unsuccessful in traditional housing programs. These veterans may have not yet fully committed to sobriety and treatment. Low-demand housing is a program design using a low-demand/harm-reduction model to better accommodate chronically homeless veterans, and veterans who were unsuccessful in traditional treatment settings. Programming does not require sobriety or compliance with mental health treatment as a condition of admission or continued stay. Overall, demands are kept to a minimum; however, services are available as needed. The goal is to establish permanent housing in the community, while providing for the safety of staff and residents.
