Impact Themes – Veterans & St. Croix
The STX Veterans Campus is designed around nine core impact themes. Together, they show how one campus restores stability for veterans while strengthening St. Croix’s economy and resilience.
Housing Stability
Safe, dignified housing across 240-320 total units, including 60-80 veteran units, 20-30 family units, 140-180 villas, 20-30 retreat units, so no veteran has to return to homelessness.
Mental Health & Healing
Trauma-informed counseling, peer groups, equine and agriculture therapy, and daily routines that help veterans stabilize, heal, and reduce PTSD and crisis events.
Workforce Development
120-200 trainees annually across fabrication, energy, agriculture, hospitality, logistics, and security, connected directly to employment on campus and across St. Croix.
Economic Strength
150-220 construction jobs, 95-120 permanent roles, and millions in local procurement that keep the project’s dollars circulating in the Virgin Islands economy.
Disaster Resilience
Hardened facilities, 470-710 people supported in emergency response, and emergency kitchens producing 3,500-5,000 meals/day (surge) even when the island grid is down.
Climate & Energy Independence
Dual solar fields, wind, batteries, and microgrid controls that reduce dependence on imported fuel, lower emissions, and keep power online for critical services.
Veteran Reintegration & Belonging
Peer networks, mentorship, and daily structure that help veterans regain identity, purpose, and a community where they are needed, not just housed.
Family Support & Stability
Family housing, counseling, parenting support, and youth programming that strengthen the entire household around each veteran and break cycles of instability.
Agricultural Innovation & Food Security
Greenhouses, orchards, and controlled-environment agriculture that feed the campus, support relief efforts, and build year-round food security for St. Croix.
The Problem We Are Solving
Veterans in the U.S. Virgin Islands face major barriers after service:
- Housing instability and homelessness
- PTSD, trauma, and untreated mental health conditions
- Limited employment pathways
- Strained family relationships and isolation
- Lack of long-term reintegration programs
In the Caribbean, these challenges are amplified by geographic isolation, limited services, and frequent natural disasters.
Our Solution: A Veteran-Centered Campus
The STX Veterans Campus is a self-sustaining community where veterans receive safe housing, counseling, peer support, job training, on-campus employment, and family-strengthening programs. Every district—Village 5, the CRC, the Vault, energy systems, agriculture, stables, culinary labs, and hospitality spaces—works together to restore stability, dignity, and purpose.
Veteran Outcomes We Track
These veteran outcomes map directly to the impact themes above, with a focus on the veteran and family experience.
Housing Stability
No veteran should face homelessness. 240-320 total units, including 60-80 veteran units, 20-30 family units, 140-180 villas, 20-30 retreat units, keep veterans and families safely housed.
Mental Health & Reintegration
Trauma-informed counseling, equine therapy, agriculture therapy, structured routines, and on-campus dental care reduce PTSD, crisis outcomes, and pain-driven setbacks.
Workforce Development
Training and employment across agriculture, renewable energy, culinary arts, hospitality, maintenance, and logistics. 75%+ gain employable skills or certifications.
Family Strength
Counseling, parenting support, and stable housing improve reintegration for spouses, children, and caregivers.
Community Belonging & Purpose
Peer mentorship, community roles, and structured daily work give veterans a sense of identity and mission again.
Life Skills & Independent Living
Financial literacy, communication skills, digital skills, and structured routines help veterans transition confidently into independent living.
Impact on St. Croix
Community Resilience
On-site power, water, food, and shelter keep humanitarian operations online during hurricanes and outages.
Economic Growth
150-220 construction jobs, 95-120 permanent jobs, millions in local purchasing—this is where our Economic Strength and Workforce Development themes become real for St. Croix businesses.
Food & Energy Independence
Greenhouses, orchards, and dual five-acre solar fields reduce reliance on imports and fossil fuels, reinforcing our Climate & Energy Independence and Agricultural Innovation themes.
Disaster Readiness
The CRC, Vault, Emergency Landing Zone, Medical & Wellness Suite, and Waste Management & Treatment plant form a unified hub where power, water, sanitation, medical/dental care, and communications stay online for mass care and recovery.
