Valor Villages Inc. and Valor Medica are separate organizations that cooperate. Valor Villages, its own 501(c)(3), provides housing; Valor Medica, a division of Sevadar Foundation Inc., provides the clinical care that keeps a placement holding.
Valor Medica is described as the medical arm of Valor Villages Inc. Both halves of that sentence need stating carefully, because it is the sentence people compress.

How do Valor Villages and Valor Medica work together?
Housing and clinical care are complementary and neither works alone. An organization can put a roof over someone’s head and then watch untreated illness undo the placement. A clinician can treat someone and then discharge them to a car. Valor Villages does the first; Valor Medica does the second; they cooperate so that a placement holds.
