Overview

Mission

Our Goal is to eradicate homelessness for our Veterans using our resources to support the transition from the street to permanent housing with the primary mission of providing the support to obtain and sustain housing, food and shelter for our returning Veterans.

What it reported doing in 2024

We opened a Detox house in Rancho Cordova (10401 Georgetown Drive) that serves up to 180 veterans a month (6 x 30). The house provides 24/7 care in areas such as housing, food, clothes, medical, and transitional housing referrals when on site housing is limited. We are planning for, and anticipate opening, a second such facility in September of this year at 2953 Kachina Way, Rancho Cordova, CA 95670. We saved and improved countless lives in 2024.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 98% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
