What we do
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Our top priority is to expand access to homeownership, reviltalize underserved communities, and provide a steady supply of high-quality, affordable housing. We are committed to fostering community development and creating pathways to economic opportunity for those we serve.
Housing & Social Services
A Path to Stability
At VTIV, we believe that stability is the foundation of hope. That is why VTIV Betterment was created to walk alongside individuals and families experiencing housing insecurity, poverty, or homelessness, offering care, dignity, and the practical tools they need to rebuild.
This initiative is designed to serve as a bridge from crisis to confidence. We aim to provide one-on-one guidance in budgeting, credit readiness, and tenant rights, plus mentorship to help participants become self-sufficient. As funding grows, we’ll assist in securing affordable rentals and ultimately guide qualified households into homeownership.
We are also committed to revitalizing neglected neighborhoods, transforming blighted properties into safe, energy-efficient homes for rent or purchase. Seniors and veterans will benefit from dedicated outreach, companionship visits, and access to essential services like tax preparation and notarial assistance.
VTIV Betterment is more than shelter; it’s a promise to equip people for lasting independence and to renew the communities they call home.
Education & Youth Development
Guiding Youth Toward a Brighter Future
VTIV YOTAH, Youth to Adulthood, was created to nurture young minds and equip them with the tools they need to succeed in life. We believe that every child, no matter their background, deserves access to encouragement, education, and opportunity.
This initiative is focused on guiding youth from uncertain beginnings to confident futures through mentorship, enrichment, and learning. As it develops, VTIV YOTAH will offer safe spaces where students can grow academically, discover their gifts, and receive guidance that lasts a lifetime.
Beyond the classroom, our plans include future support for adult learners and English language education, because growth and success shouldn’t be limited by age or circumstance. Whether through tutoring, skill-building, or exposure to leadership, YOTAH is about opening doors to possibility and helping the next generation walk through them boldly.
Health & Wellness
Whole Health. Whole Community.
Access to quality care is a cornerstone of wellbeing. VTIV Optimum is our commitment to ensuring that affordable, professional healthcare is within reach for everyone in our community.
This program is designed to connect individuals and families with sliding-scale or free medical screenings, doctor consultations, and preventive services. We aim to partner with local clinics and healthcare professionals to bring affordable wellness directly into neighborhoods—through pop-up clinics, health education, and enrollment assistance for low-cost insurance.
Beyond clinical care, VTIV Optimum will offer nutrition workshops, healthy meal planning, and community fitness events to support chronic disease prevention. Our aim is to remove barriers—financial, geographic, and informational—so that every person can take control of their health and live a fuller, longer life.
VTIV Optimum stands for a future where care is accessible, prevention is prioritized, and healing happens in the heart of the community.
Childcare Support
Caring for Children, Strengthening Families
Reliable childcare changes everything, for families, for futures, and for communities. VTIV CHAPS (Childcare Assistance Program Services) was created to stand in the gap for parents working hard to provide a better life, yet struggling to afford consistent, quality care.
This program is designed to ease the burden on low-to-moderate income families by helping to open access to safe, nurturing childcare environments. Whether a parent is returning to work, continuing their education, or rebuilding after hardship, CHAPS will help create peace of mind and open doors to stability.
As partnerships and funding take shape, CHAPS will serve as a reliable support system, not just for children, but for the entire family unit. Because when families are supported, communities become stronger.
Career & Business Pathways
Empowering Growth Through Work and Enterprise
VTIV’s Business Network initiative was created to help individuals find purpose, build skills, and unlock potential through meaningful employment and entrepreneurship.
Through this program, the goal is to remove barriers that keep people stuck, and replace them with opportunity.
This initiative is designed to provide mentorship, resources, and training that lead to growth, whether someone is dreaming of launching a business, switching careers, or simply preparing to re-enter the workforce.
VTIV believes that financial independence and community development go hand in hand. By supporting career development and business ownership, we create stronger families, thriving neighborhoods, and a future filled with possibilities.
Transportation Access
Bridging the Gap to Opportunity
Access to reliable transit shouldn’t stop at city limits. VTIV Commute was created to bring intercity and local transportation within reach of underserved communities, connecting residents to jobs, schools, healthcare, and essential services in neighboring towns and cities.
This program will offer low-cost, dependable rides that traverse municipal boundaries and link transit deserts with opportunity hubs. Whether it’s an early-morning commute, a trip to the nearest college campus, or a journey to a regional medical center, VTIV Commute ensures distance is never a barrier to progress.
More than just a bus route, VTIV Commute is a lifeline, fostering economic mobility, social inclusion, and community resilience by keeping people moving forward together.
