5 Points of Performance gives Vermont veterans facing homelessness a safe place to stand again — a roof, a plan, and brothers who've been there. No one who served should come home to no home.
When you jump, the five points of performance are what bring you down safe. We built this place on the same idea — five things, done right, that bring a veteran back to solid ground.
To bring Vermont's veterans home — giving those who face homelessness safe housing and the five points of support (housing, recovery, benefits, work, and brotherhood) that return them to stable ground, purpose, and the unit they’ve been missing.
A Vermont where no veteran who served our country is ever left on the drop zone — where every veteran who falls has a place to land and a clear path back to a life of dignity and purpose.
A clean, stable bed and a door that locks — transitional housing so the next step isn't taken from the street.
Case management, counseling, and recovery support to steady the ground under a veteran's feet.
We navigate the VA maze with them — healthcare, disability, and the benefits they earned but never claimed.
Job readiness, skills, and connections to employers — because purpose is part of the cure.
The thing that's missing most. A unit again — people who served, who get it, who don't let you fall.
Veterans of every branch and era who've hit a hard stretch — job loss, injury, addiction, a marriage that ended, a war that didn't. We don't ask how they got here. We ask what it takes to get them home.
5 Points of Performance is built and run by people who wore the uniform. We know the pride that keeps a veteran from asking for help — and we meet it with respect, not pity.
If you're a veteran facing homelessness — or you know one — reach out. It's confidential, there's no judgment, and there's no wrong way to ask. We'll take it from there.
