Resident & Program Updates
Camp Centurion has had five residents in the last two months:
- One resident has moved out and secured permanent housing, which is a significant step toward transitioning to independent living.
- Another resident has secured full-time employment.
- Three residents are in Veterans Treatment Court, and all are progressing well in the program.
- We are working with one resident to obtain his veteran’s benefits.
- Finally, one resident has thirty days left in his off-campus rehabilitation treatment. After he completes it, he will move back to Camp Centurion while we continue to find permanent employment for him.
Current Needs
Several supporters have asked about Camp Centurion’s current needs:
- Food & Transportation: We always need food and transportation. Food Lion and Lyft gift cards meet these needs in the short term.
- Medical Appointments & Work: Transportation is necessary to get the residents to VA medical and counseling appointments and, when we have found jobs for them, to work.
- Vehicle Need: While Lyft gift cards help, a reliable used van or SUV would be very helpful. If you know of one, please let us know.
