It has been a busy year for The Veterans Collective. Its work is well underway to transform the historic West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs North Campus into the country’s largest supportive housing community for homeless and at-risk Veterans. As 2022 comes to a close, the group wanted to offer an update on the progress made and share what’s to come in 2023. 

Once complete, the 70+ acre North Campus will feature upwards of 1,700 units of housing and a community of more than 3,000 Veterans and their families. TVC is proud to share that, starting in January 2023, it will begin welcoming its first Veterans to their new homes.

Some highlights from their work thus far:

  • By the end of this year, 617 new units within eight separate projects on the North Campus will be completed, started, or fully financed.
  • Building 207 will be completed by Q1 2023 – the first of more than 20 planned Veteran housing buildings to open on the North Campus. It will house formerly homeless and at-risk senior Veterans in 60 units, and provide a wide range of amenities.
  • Building 404 was the first to close financing on the North Campus this past November. The $50-million project will deliver 73 supportive homes for Veterans transitioning from homelessness.

This unprecedented project to renovate the historic North Campus requires more than $1.1 billion in funding. With support from stakeholders, TVC has already raised more than $500 million, nearly half of its goal. 

This has been made possible through public-private partnerships with Veterans, stakeholders, the Department of Veterans Affairs, elected officials, philanthropy, and business and community leaders are all working together to tackle our homelessness crisis.
