This conversation centers on the services veterans will rely on most: job readiness support, counseling, financial literacy, community meals, mentoring, and pathways to independence. Daniel explains how each offering is designed to remove barriers and give veterans the tools they need to rebuild stability and confidence.

The video also highlights how these programs pair with the trauma-informed approach to the site’s design, ensuring that both the physical environment and the services provided work hand-in-hand to support healing. Whether you’re a partner, supporter, or someone wanting to understand the full impact of Sacred Heart Veterans Village, this episode offers a clear, heartfelt look at how the project will serve veterans beyond housing, through programming that meets them where they are and helps them move forward.
