Planning for Stand Down 2024 will start soon! Check back for updates.
VVSD STAND DOWN is a 3-day encampment each summer designed to guide homeless veterans, and those at risk of homelessness, to services that rapidly remove barriers caused by medical, legal, mental health, and substance use concerns.
We are grateful for the 100+ agencies and over 3,000 volunteers who have offered personalized care to each veteran.
