Healthy Veteran Master Plan
Natural Healing Environment
The majesty, wonder, and serenity of God's Creation are primary healing ingredients. River Bend Farm provides such a beautiful and peaceful setting.
Veteran Community
Community is a primary antidote to isolation, loneliness, and broken relationships. Residents will experience a renewed sense of community and camaraderie in the National Center for Healthy Veteran Villages and will form lasting bonds of friendship. Formerly homeless veterans will not only have a place to live, but also a place to thrive and contribute.
Vocational Training Hub
The Vocational Training Hub will have a number of modular buildings to house craft and technical skill activities as dictated by the needs, skills, and interests of our Veteran and First Responder Community. This Vocational Training Hub will produce value added products, and be augmented by offsite training programs.
Welcome Center and Lodge
A Welcome Center and Lodge will accommodate visitors and short-term participants at the NCHV. The Welcome Center, combined with the Veteran’s Farmers Market, will allow NCHV Residents to display and sell crafts, work products, and farm produce to the local community. It also serves as the primary access control to the NCHV property.
The NCHV Wellness Center will provide best-practice programs, technologies, and technical expertise to achieve physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, and relational wellness and excellence. It will also be the venue for conferences to share nationwide best practices with other veteran service organizations, communities, corporations, churches, and campuses.
