National Transitional Housing for Veterans

VSO National Transitional Housing for Veterans

MISSION STATEMENT

To provide sober transitional living for indigent veterans and to offer supportive services to help veterans recover from addiction and/or life’s misfortunes quickly so they can return to a successful independent life style. Veterans New Life Haven is in Florida, but is open to veterans across the nation.

VISION

Our vision is to change the lives of as many indigent veterans as we can in the U.S by opening Veterans New Life Haven facilities across the nation.

VSO National Transitional Housing for Veterans would like to raise enough funds to continue providing a Safe Center as well as open additional transitional housing safe centers all over the country. This center is a shelter where veterans can bring their families for food, shelter, and support during times of hardship. The VSO Safe House offers private rooms, a common area including a kitchen, dinning room, and recreational area for guests. The center is also a stepping stone for homeless veterans to transition to a better quality of life for themselves and their families. The center gives homeless veterans a chance to leave the homeless life behind.

Facts about Homeless Veterans

Fact
About 1 out of 3 of the adult homeless population has served their country in the Armed Services. On any given day, as many as 200,000 veterans (male and female) are living on the streets or in shelters; and perhaps 400,000 more experience homelessness at some point during the course of a year. Unfortunately they will spend the night hungry and alone.

Why are veterans homeless?
In addition to the complex set of factors affecting all homelessness - extreme shortage of affordable housing, livable income, and access to health care, a large number of displaced and at-risk veterans live with the lingering effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and substance abuse compounded by a lack of family and social support networks.
A top priority is secure, safe, clean housing that offers a supportive environment which is free of drugs and alcohol. While "most homeless people are single, unaffiliated men... most housing money in existing federal homelessness programs, in contrast, is devoted to helping homeless families or homeless women with dependant children," according to " Is Homelessness a Housing problem?" in Understanding Homelessness: New Policy and Research Perspectives, published by the Fannie Mae Foundation in 1997.
