Overview
Mission
At NVHS, we believe that no veteran should be left behind on the streets. Veteran Homelessness While there have been significant strides made in helping decrease homelessness among Veterans, it is still an increasing issue. In fact, according to the Annual Homelessness Assessment Report (AHAR), Florida had one of the largest increases in homelessness in 2023. Additionally, from 2022 to 2023, veteran homelessness increased by 7% in the United States. 20,067 Veterans experienced sheltered homelessness, while 15,507 experienced unsheltered homelessness.

What it reported doing in 2024
Program "Search and Rescue": Search and Rescue is an outreach program that serves two groups of veterans and their families: those who are unsheltered and living on the streets, and those who are at risk of losing their homes. Our team locates unsheltered clients, provides them with food, outdoor gear, and other essentials, and connects them with the VA, housing agencies, and benefits application specialists to help them find permanent and stable housing. Our team also assists at-risk clients by providing case management, financial counseling, landlord mediation, and financial assistance to prevent eviction and homelessness. In FY25, the program served 360 veterans and 64 dependents through this program and provided $82,835 in financial assistance for rent and utilities.
