U.S. Veterans Initiative

Over 200,000 veterans will sleep on the streets of our nation tonight.

Our VISION is that one day there will no longer be homeless veterans in America...

U.S. VETS provides housing, counseling, job assistance, and HOPE to thousands of homeless veterans each year. Our programs foster the skills necessary for every veteran to return to the community and remain self-sufficient.
