Shepherd's Heart Veteran's Home or (SHVH) located at 13 Pride Street, Pittsburgh, PA. is transitional housing for Homeless Veterans. The Veteran's Home is a collaboration between Pittsburgh Veterans Affair's Health Care System for Homeless Veterans or (HCHV), Comprehensive Homeless Center or (CHC) and Shepherd's Heart Fellowship, a parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh. The collaboration aims to achieve a continuum of care for Homeless Veterans. There are approximately 1500 Homeless Veterans on any given night in Allegheny County alone. In 2006, Shepherd's Heart Fellowship was awarded a grant from the VA to renovate the second floor of the church to turn it into an "Engagement Center". The program aims to service male and female veterans who are homeless and may have post traumatic stress disorder or (PTSD), substance abuse problems, mental illness, dual diagnosis and those who are disabled.
