Veterans Northeast Outreach Center

Who we are and what we do:

We are a recognized 501 (c)(3) veteran focused non-profit, established in 1985 to help Homeless Veterans and Veterans at risk of being homeless find shelter and work towards stability and self-sustainment.

Through the Years, the focus of the Center has expanded to accommodate and serve the thousands of Veterans in the greater Merrimack Valley and Seacoast region to now include Boston, Metro West, North into New Hampshire, and South to Cape Cod.  We provide a continuum of care to Veterans and their families, ranging from very basic food and shelter needs to advocacy, information, referral, career and education services.

The Center currently operates eight housing units directly and collaborates with other agencies for additional housing space.  This translates into subsidized and supportive housing to 120+ Veterans and their families.  We are constantly working to expand and add living spaces in order to provide more affordable housing units for as many local Veterans as possible.

Scott Forbes

With a heavy heart, we are informing our VNEOC community that Scott Forbes past Monday. Scott oversaw all Federal & State funded grant programs that provide housing assistance, employment, access to VA benefits, outreach, and peer support opportunities that improve the overall quality of life for veterans and their families. He joined VNEOC in January 2019. He will be missed by many in the veteran community.

Scott served his country for 22 years in the United States Air Force, retiring with the rank of Master Sergeant. As an Air Transportation Craftsman, Scott served on multiple combat tours with deployments to Kuwait, Iraq, and Afghanistan. He is an active member of the Melrose Veterans Advisory Board and the Norman Prince VFW Post #1506. Additionally, Scott is a former Melrose City Councilor serving the residents of Ward 7 for three terms and was elected City Council President during his final year in office.

Scott received his supportive services from VNEOC in 2016, which dramatically changed his life for the better. He is grateful to work for the organization that helped him when he needed assistance during some difficult times, and comes to work every day knowing he has an opportunity to help others in the same fashion.
