Help Us Serve all Who Have Served
Each year, Honor Home serves around 100 homeless veterans, all of whom have been males. However, female veterans are the fastest growing homeless population, making up 8% of homeless veterans today. And they are dealing with unique challenges like military sexual trauma or having children in the household.
With our renovations, we can accommodate males and females, including LGBTQ veterans, giving them private space to live during their stay with us, and also providing safer spaces for social distancing and reducing the spread of COVID-19.
Project Overview
Honor Home is raising funds to renovate its 30-bed, 16,000 square foot facility for homeless veterans to be more inclusive to all veterans that have served, regardless of gender. The renovations will transform shared spaces into individual bedrooms and bathrooms, giving male and female veterans the space, privacy, and safety they need to work towards obtaining permanent housing.Â
Thanks to a grant from The U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA), we are able to create a better space for homeless veterans. But we need help to reach our fundraising goal and complete this project. You can help by making a donation or volunteering your skills and labor.
