What First Field offers

Providing safe, structured, and community-centered independent living that empowers veterans and reentering individuals to rebuild their foundation and successfully navigate their next chapter.
  • Acceptance letter and referral form — the intake documents that start the process.
  • A comfortable shared living space with furnished common areas and weekly house meetings.
  • Goal planning focused on employment, skill-building, and financial stability.
  • Coordinated access to VA benefits, healthcare connections, and community mentors.
  • Clear agreements: residency agreement, consent forms, and a room checklist signed before day one.

Who First Field serves

First Field provides structured, supportive, and drug-free independent housing for cognitively and functionally independent adults, in partnership with county agencies, veterans' services, shelters, and re-entry programs.

  • Independent Adults

    Cognitively and functionally independent adults capable of managing daily self-care, personal hygiene, and medication routines without 24/7 nursing supervision.

  • Military Veterans

    Former service members utilizing VA housing assistance, HUD-VASH, or SSVF voucher support seeking stable independent housing.

  • DV Survivors

    Individuals fleeing domestic violence or transitioning from emergency shelters who require secure, confidential housing with strict guest controls.

  • Recovery & Re-Entry

    Individuals in early-to-mid recovery from substance use or re-entering from justice supervision committed to a 100% drug- and alcohol-free environment.

  • Disabled

    Individuals with physical, developmental, or psychological disabilities who remain cognitively and functionally independent in managing their own daily living and care.

How the program works

Every referral follows the same five stages, so partners and families always know what comes next.

  1. Before you arrive

    01

    We review placement, required identification, emergency contacts, and any items that must be addressed before move-in.

  2. Move-in

    02

    Residents review and sign the residency agreement, consent forms, and room checklist so responsibilities are clear from day one.

  3. Daily life

    03

    House guidelines cover quiet hours, chores, rent, and respectful conduct so the home can operate safely and consistently.

  4. Staying on track

    04

    When concerns arise, staff listen, document what occurred, and explain the next steps in a fair and direct manner.

  5. Moving on

    05

    At departure, staff close the resident file, settle accounts, collect access items, and complete the required records.
