A new behavioral health and recovery housing center has opened in Phoenix honoring Sen. John McCain and aiming to help local veterans.

Axiom Care, a Phoenix-based provider of behavioral health and recovery housing since 2012, announced the opening of the John McCain Veterans Center on March 11.

The center, a 60-bed transitional housing program designed to serve veterans navigating challenges related to substance use disorders, mental health conditions, trauma and homelessness, is on the campus of Victory Place, a 200-apartment veteran-focused affordable housing community established in 2001.

At a ribbon-cutting ceremony last week were U.S. Marine Corps Veteran Jim McCain and his mother, Ambassador Cindy McCain, wife of the late U.S. Senator John McCain.

“My husband would be very proud of what this place stands for, proud of the veterans who will find hope here, and especially proud of our son’s involvement,” said Ambassador Cindy McCain.

The partnership between Axiom Care, nonprofit Axiom Community of Recovery and Victory Place is the first step in a collective vision to combine short-term recovery services with long-term accessible and affordable housing geared toward the unique needs of veterans.
