The Decatur Veteran Recovery Home
A small, recovery-oriented transitional home for homeless veterans in DeKalb County.
A Place to Recover, Not Just a Place to Sleep
Many homeless veterans in metro Atlanta cycle between the street, short-term shelters, and crisis services without ever getting the stable footing recovery requires. Large shelters can be overwhelming for veterans carrying the invisible wounds of service.
UHOA's founder built this project around a simple idea: a small, intensely personal home where each veteran has a bed, a door that locks, and a team invested in what comes next.
