VOA offers a continuum of housing programs and services: emergency shelters, supportive housing, housing for seniors, housing for veterans, rapid re-housing, rental assistance, and a residential reentry center. We believe the key to addressing homelessness is providing a continuum of support services (in addition to housing and food) to help people develop more stable, self-sufficient lives.

Our center has grown into one of the largest providers of early childhood programming within the city of Rochester. We serve hundreds of children and families on an annual basis and provides such additional support services as a full-time registered nurse, on-site dental care, family development services, on-going parent training, full-day care, and disability supports for children with special needs.

VOA provides reentry programs in Rochester and Binghamton that change lives. Our Residential Reentry Center and Community-Based Residential Programs reduce recidivism by helping foster a positive transition after incarceration. The services we provide include: housing, specialized case management, employment assistance, and life skills training to help people develop positive, self-reliant lives.
