St. James Zion House

ZION HOUSE SERVICES

Community Transformation & Health Education Outreach:

Minority participation in local community health coalitions is intended to enhance the efforts of local health departments to increase the prevelance of healthy behaviors, such as healthy eating, active living and tobacco-free living in minority communities. Community Transformation Grant organizations are trained by the Maryland Office of Minority Health and Health Disparities.

Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF): 

There are many circumstances that can lead to homelessness. Some veterans become homeless due to a combination of housing shortages and high unemployment. Other veterans may be dealing with painful memories or health issues and have little access to health care or support from family and friends.  

SSVF is designed to help veterans and their families with homeless prevention and rehousing services.
