City Briefing: Victory Pointe Initiative
This page summarizes the initiative in a staff-friendly format: scope, benefits, funding approach, and measurable outcomes.
11 fitness + memorial stations along Victory Pointe; QR storytelling; intake/navigation hub; workforce pathways.
Designed as a public-private partnership with station naming sponsorships and program partners to reduce public burden.
Track supporters, letters, sponsor pipeline, veterans stabilized, placements, and volunteer hours.
Why this benefits Clermont
- Activates an existing waterfront destination and trail segment with a unique civic feature
- Encourages repeat visitation and positive community engagement
- Builds veteran workforce capacity in trades and repairs
- Improves community resilience during emergencies (trained, organized volunteer capacity)
- Structured to leverage private sponsorships and community ownership
Phased implementation
- Phase 1: Sponsor outreach, permitting coordination, station prototypes, signature collection
- Phase 2: Install initial stations + launch QR storytelling + intake pilot
- Phase 3: Expand stations, workforce programming, and measurable reporting
Stabilization phase cost target: $2,800–$3,500 per veteran per month (housing + food + case management + workforce support + medical navigation). Target initial residential cohort: 20–30 veterans accepted into our housing, training, and reintegration program at a time. Most graduate into stable independent housing within 9–12 months, allowing us to transition the next veteran in and continue the cycle. Long-term goal: serve thousands of veterans annually through direct services, navigation, and community support. Planning target facility size for 30 residents (dignified dorm model): ~9,000–12,000 sq ft.
