KUNKLETOWN, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — 28/22 News is getting a first full look at an area resource for homeless veterans. Valor Clinic Foundation invited 28/22 News for a tour of what they call Paul’s House on Wednesday.
It’s a transitional home in Kunkletown designed to give veterans without a home a way to get help with mental health, access to food, and a chance to get back on their feet.
This comes before an open house this weekend that will give people a chance to see the living spaces there for themselves, after only ever being able to see the main common room.
“The programs and the people and the processes that occur here create a family, and so you may exit these doors, but the people that you come in contact with here do not exit your life,” House Manager Erin Kelly told 28/22 News.
“We try to do a four-part case management where we get their healthcare managed obviously with healthcare partners, get them mobile, get them an income, and help them build a plan to get purpose and direction back in their life so they don’t end up homeless again,” Founder and President of the Valor Clinic Foundation Mark Baylis stated.
Paul’s House is funded entirely through donations and has helped more than 100 veterans over the past 10 years.
