Challenges
We understand low-income veterans face unique challenges in their everyday lives such as homelessness, housing affordability, limited employment opportunities, lack of access to health care, lack of social support, PTSD, substance abuse and more. These challenges are magnified when you don’t have a stable home within a nurturing community. We aim to combat these challenges by providing a pathway for veterans to rebuild their lives through affordable housing and support services.
