The Baltimore Station is a therapeutic residential recovery program that helps homeless men – primarily veterans – bound by drug and alcohol addiction break the cycle and become self-sufficient members of society. The only long-term residential program in the area, the group provides up to 24 months of clinical care and life skills development to encourage a smoother transition to the real world and guaranteed lifelong success
NewDay USA provides loans to help veterans make the most of the VA benefits they earned with their military service and to help them gain the financial security and peace of mind.
