Home For Veterans

In May 2005 Goodwill Industries of Central Illinois opened its Home for Veterans. This is a ten-bedroom facility that provides an intensive holistic program that assesses the individual and customizes services to directly meet their needs.

Goodwill uses its expertise in working one-on-one with individuals to achieve life changes; research shows that lack of stable housing presents a significant challenge in obtaining gainful employment and eliminating the barriers and issues that are at the root of homelessness. As an extension to its mission, Goodwill's Home for Veterans is considered permanent, supportive housing and is the only facility of its kind in the state of Illinois.


Goodwill provides and coordinates all services including treatment for post-traumatic stress syndrome, substance abuse, stress, anxiety and psychological counseling, budgeting, clothing, legal assistance, food, telephones, transportation, entitlement benefits, medical care, job training, education and job placement services
