Piquette Square aims to assist in the recovery of homeless veterans that have any range of ailments from drug abuse to a lack of confidence. The complex offers psychiatry, job training, and programs that look to enhance the education of those dwelling there. Computer labs also enable the veterans ample opportunity to familiarize themselves with the internet and the hardware involved in order to better prepare the veterans to reenter the workforce.
