VOC Residential Program

Veterans Outreach Center operates Richards House and Otto House (VOC Residential Program) to serve homeless male veterans. The facilities will be able to accommodate 54 residents once renovations finish. Residents are housed in a safe, homelike environment, where they receive case management as the first steps toward making positive, long-term lifestyle changes.

The late Reverend Thomas Beddoe Richards served in the United States Army Air Forces 1942 - 1946 as a chaplain and was awarded the Bronze Star. As a resident of Rochester, Rev. Richards attended Colgate-Rochester Divinity prior to graduating as a member of the class of 1937 at Bucknell University. He was later awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity in 1963 from this same institute. The Reverend Richards focused his life's ministry among the homeless and underprivileged of our community and, specifically, within the city of Rochester. Veterans Outreach Center acquired the building at 791 South Avenue in March 1999. It was dedicated to the memory of this veteran in honor of his significant contributions to the betterment and well-being of our homeless population.
