Veterans will typically stay in the transitional housing for 30 to 90 days, with potential extensions on a case-by-case basis depending on clinically indicated need. The place of performance is listed as Portland, OR 97239, though the services are specifically targeted for the Spokane, WA metro area and must accommodate veterans requiring specialized support for issues such as PTSD, depression, and substance dependencies.
