GCVRET Rehabilitation Center

GCVRET proposes to plan, build, implement and operate a state-of-the-art technologically advanced full service veterans’ center to address the needs of homeless veterans and low income veterans within the South Atlantic United States and beyond. GCVRET will be located in Georgia, proximal to the City of Columbus, Georgia (the second largest city in the state).

GCVRET has identified an adequate land site in the city of Cuthbert, Georgia for new construction that suit needed requirements. The city of Cuthbert has made available, by donation, initially a 13 acre land site for Phase I of the building plan, with an additional 37 acres when needed for additional construction in the future. The city of Cuthbert will also make available other incentives to have the proposed center built on the site. The land site has adequate space for buildings designed to address biopsychosocial issues facing our homeless veterans. GCVRET’s short-term goals are to build in phases, providing for the needs of 250 – 300 homeless veterans. GCVRET’s long-term goals are to provide for as many as 300 homeless veterans. The donated 50-acre landsite provides for this scalability. GCVRET will be especially sensitive to the needs of homeless female veterans and homeless female veterans with dependent children.

We are entering a period where veterans are returning from Iraq and Afghanistan and will need the services that our proposed veterans care center would provide. Many veterans will return with injuries visible and not visible. We as a nation must prepare to meet the challenges of providing the needed services that these heroes have earned and deserve.

Those of us who served, and particularly those who served in combat, are of one mind that it is immoral for a veteran to be homeless, cold, hungry, or in need of medical aid. While it is true that some of our brothers and sisters will not be helped due to either general resistance or conscious choice, the vast majority of homeless, at- risk and low income veterans want help, but simply have no way to get it. GCVRET proposes to implement this service mission to ensure homeless and disabled veterans get the assistance they have earned.
