Shepherd’s house is a long-term residential program for homeless Veterans who are alcohol and chemically addicted, or struggle with mental health issues.  The facility is essentially located on the northeast side of Fort Wayne.  Participants are asked to make a personal commitment to the clinical program. We offer education and therapy regarding alcoholism and or chemical dependency and recovery.  Our professional staff assists each Veterans with the creation of an effective support system. The structured approach is designed to help veterans develop a solid foundation of sobriety.

Dignity and a healthy self-image are viewed as basic in recovery. The program recognizes and satisfies, and individuals early realistic dependency needs while striving to assure that, as treatment progresses and personal coping mechanisms become more adaptive and functional, there is less need for the rigid structure support and reliance on external resources.

This facility is comprised of highly motivated, experienced staff, many of whom are themselves in recovery.

Shepherds House has a Culinary Director, who ensures our Veterans receive balanced nutritional home cooked meals, along with snacks, ice cream etc

Our Vision is to return Veterans self-sufficient, employed and empowered with a sober vision of hope for their future.
