Central Midlands Transitional Retreat
Who We Are
CMTR is a housing facility designed specifically for United States veterans in partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs and many others committed to the needs of the battle-weary. Our program includes transitional housing, education, training, financial counseling, and employment consulting. In addition, we provide physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental stabilization for veterans.
Our services are provided by a team of professionals and volunteers who value homeless veterans. Many of the professional services are offered through partnerships with other service providers, including the Department of Veterans Affairs.
We are located in Lexington, SC, on a beautiful ten-acre tract of land with residential spaces, recreation, and educational facilities on site.

Our focus provides a particular emphasis on obtaining the individual life skills necessary to gain full-time employment and permanent housing.
