Is Q’mmunity House a treatment facility?
No. Q’mmunity House is a program and not a treatment facility. Staff are not equipped to provide mental or physical health services. Applicants are encouraged to share their care needs, where possible, to ensure the alignment of needs and support our staff are able to provide. Additionally, Q’mmunity House is a dry home.

This does not apply to service animals.
I’ve had challenges in the past, but I think I could be a good candidate. Should I apply?
The Minority Vets team understands life happens, and sometimes life doesn’t happen fairly. We also know with accountability, opportunity, and safety people grow and change. We will look at all applications on a case-by-case basis, with safety of all the residents being the top priority.
What is the living situation?
Our spacious home has been remodeled with intention and accessibility in mind. The house has five individual occupancy bedrooms. Two of our units are accessible and available for veterans that utilize mobility devices with access to laundry, kitchen, and shower on the main floor with a ramp to the home for access.
What is the process?
Applications should be submitted by the veteran. Once the application is received, a Minority Vets staff member will reach out to the applicant to schedule a conversation. If the staff member believes the applicant is a good fit, they’ll schedule an interview to gather additional information to determine if the program is right for the veteran or if we’ll work with them to find a program that meets their needs.
