NATIONAL PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM 2024
Being a Veteran in the United States makes you 50% more likely to become homeless than those who haven’t served in the military. 50%
10% of U.S. Veterans reported experiencing homelessness at some point in their adult lives.
Unlike many Veteran service organizations, VCP serves every man or woman who took the oath, regardless of VA-eligibility or discharge status.
Aerial refueling increases the operational range and endurance of aircraft that must remain airborne for extended periods of time. With the support of tankers such as the KC-135, fighter jets, bombers, and other strategic aircraft are no longer limited by their own fuel capacity.
VCP's national corporate partners are much like a Stratotanker, extending our mission's reach and impact beyond our operational range. The broader resources, influence, and manpower of our national refueling wing amplifies the efforts of VCP's community partners, as well.
Simply put, our national corporate partners are force multipliers.
“When I stepped into that house and had my own things after being homeless

… it was almost too good to be true.

Veterans Community Project (VCP) was founded in 2016 by a group of combat Veterans in Kansas City, Missouri who determined to stand in the gaps of a broken system that left too many of our brothers and sisters behind.
Since it’s grassroots beginning, VCP has been the community’s project. We are funded and fueled by an army of supporters who are passionate about serving those who served our country.
Together, we have developed and executed an innovative temporary housing model that effectively solves Veteran homelessness.
To date, we have experienced an extraordinary 85% success rate for transitioning formerly homelessness Veterans into their own sustainable, permanent housing solutions.
With the success of this model comes the opportunity to grow its impact. VCP is quickly becoming the nation's project.
We currently have tiny home Villages in Kansas City, MO; Longmont, CO; Sioux Falls, SD; and St. Louis, MO. Soon, we will have boots on the ground in Milwaukee, WI; Glendale, AZ; and Oklahoma City, OK.
Our corporate partners are a critical part of this effort, allowing us to respond swiftly and efficiently to the needs of each community.
To end Veteran homelessness across the nation; however, we also need the broader reach and influence of national allies.
We are actively seeking corporations whose strength and impact can advance this mission further than we can accomplish alone.
Please join us. Together we can make a decisive impact on our fight to end Veteran homelessness.
Thank you in advance for your consideration and care.
Respectfully,
Bryan Meyer CEO and Co-Founder
In aerial refueling, success is dependent on both aircraft flying in tight formation until their shared objective is achieved.
VCP’s National Partnership Program functions much in the same way.
Together, we will create and execute a plan that aligns with your corporate goals and amplifies the transformative impact of your partnership.
Whether a monetary investment or a donation of critical, in-kind products or services, your fuel expands our capacity to deliver programs in existing VCP communities and propels our expansion nationwide.
For more information, please contact Liz Mueller, National Director of Corporate Partnerships, at LMueller@VCP.org or (303) 884-6393.

“One of the obstacles we face is sourcing tools so our volunteers can help us build. Milwaukee Tool stepped up with pallets of nailers, drills, battery packs, and other hand tools to help us work faster, safer, and more efficiently.

Dan Reiger, Construction and Operations Coordinator Veterans Community Project of Sioux Falls
