HELPING ALL VETERANS
EXPERIENCE NORMALCY
Our Mission
Our direction is to enable all Veterans to move forward in their lives after military service. We strive to connect Veterans facing homelessness with transitional housing and/or shelter. We work to ensure all Veterans receive support through employment, family counseling, and help with well-deserved benefits. By working with all Veteran agencies in the community, we will achieve a much-needed hand up, not a handout, for our homeless Veterans.
