SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Developmental Disability Services Designed to provide quality in-home and non-residential support for individuals with developmental disabilities, Volunteers of America's Supportive Living Program is comprised of a network of small neighborhood homes in Middle and West Tennessee, Southern Indiana and Northern Kentucky. The program empowers individuals to stay in their communities while receiving case management, transportation, assistance and support. Homeless and Housing Services Volunteers of America Mid-States provides housing and services to homeless families in Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky. In Louisville we operate the city's oldest family emergency shelter for homeless families. In Lexington we provide scattered-site, neighborhood-based transitional housing program for homeless and marginally-housed families. All of our homeless and housing services work with the families to build a strong foundation of self-sustainability and provide comprehensive and individualized case management. Addiction Recovery Services Volunteers of America offers a complete system of clinical addiction recovery that includes assessment, prevention, long-term residential treatment and aftercare services provided by licensed and trained addiction treatment professionals. Programs respond to the health and wellness needs of clients while also providing individual, group and family therapy, life skills training, parenting classes and substance abuse education. Veterans Services Volunteers of America proudly serves veterans in Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Southern Ohio who are experiencing homelessness and substance abuse issues. Our services link veterans with employment training, affordable housing, and other resources that help them reintegrate into their communities. Health Services Volunteers of America is the largest provider of HIV medical case management services in the state of Kentucky. Our Outreach and Prevention program helps improve the quality of life for individuals living with HIV and prevent the spread of the disease. Determined Health employs trained Community Health Worker's who engage with the residents at increased risk of poor health by providing care coordination, offering support for chronic disease management, navigation of community resources, empowering individuals to make health decisions, community outreach, and increased health education. Restorative Justice The criminal justice system asks what laws have been broken and what punishment is deserved. Restorative Justice asks what harm has been done, who is responsible, and how can that harm be repaired? The juvenile, victim, and trained counselors come together and focuses on making amends, repairing harm and building brighter futures. Young people who participate in VOA's Restorative Justice process are half as likely to commit a future offense. Victims of crimes report they feel closure and healing from being fully engaged in the discussion. Specialized VOA case managers work to stop youth from reoffending while making victims feel more respected and whole. Restorative Justice is an alternative to the overcrowding crisis facing our prison system and youth detention centers. And it saves taxpayers’ dollars – every single year-long detention for a youth in Kentucky currently costs more than $70,000. Restorative Justice is vastly more affordable – and more effective. Nashville VOA Living Centers are staffed residences for adults with disabilities who are aging or who are medically fragile. The four homes provide each individual (tenant) with their own bedroom; all other areas of the homes are shared with the other tenants. Volunteers of America Mid-States provides 24/7 staff and the centers are funded through Tennessee Medicaid.
