Kevin’s House (Homeless Veterans Shelter)

The SGT Kevin Lannon Veterans Sanctuary was donated by Vaughn and Linda Richards.

This former schoolhouse was built in the 1930s and served the local community until it was retired in 1964. This facility is located at the intersection of Routes 586 and 79 in the Village of Fallsburg, in rural Licking County, Ohio.

We believe the road home for some Veterans is disrupted by the emotional scars of war. The statistics of life crisis which affect our returning Veterans are staggering.

Our method to navigate the road to readjustment for these Veterans begins with common ground. They all served their nation, so they understand commitment, rules, purpose, and structure.

They will begin their readjustment with a commitment to us and themselves to work toward a better life and to follow the rules of the program. These rules involve participation in all facets of their own care.

We will provide purpose by involving them in Veteran Outreach and Recovery by mandatory participation in our Stand Down Program. We will provide structure with schedules and assigned responsibilities.
