About Veterans Program
In February 2009, the Union Gospel Mission became a recipient of the Veteran’s Administration Per Diem Program.

UGM is approved to have up to 40 individuals living here at any one time. Since the beginning of the program, there have been between 34-40 veterans living at the Mission at any given time.
