After nearly two years of renovation, VA Long Beach's PIER Center (Partnership in Effective Recovery) has reopened its doors — and it's better than ever.
No appointment needed. Just walk in for a warm shower, a hot meal, a phone to call home, social activities, or someone who understands. For many Veterans, this is the first door into VA care — and often the door that leads to housing, treatment, and everything else VA offers.
New upgrades include a patio for connecting outdoors, a phone-charging station, updated restrooms, a bottle-filling fountain, and two new group rooms for programming and community.
This space was built by Veterans, for Veterans. Whatever brings you here — recovery, community, or just a place to be — you belong here.
