Our Mission

Our direction is to enable all veterans to move forward in their lives after military service. We will strive to provide transitional housing, plus shelter for homeless service men and woman. To Ensure all veterans receive the support through employment, family counseling, and help with well deserved benefits. We will work with all veteran agencies in the community, we will achieve a much needed hand up, not a hand out for our homeless veterans.ย 

I have come to realize that I spent the last 22 years of my life preserving the life and well being of my Soldiers all over the world. The Veterans right here in my home are having an even bigger challenge.
