Overview
Mission
To create a community for homeless veterans as well as all veterans, assisting them to successfully transition back into civilian society through job training and self-empowerment skills.
What it reported doing in 2025
Case Management Program provided our veterans with much-needed resources to support their mental health and well-being through providing substance abuse counseling, budget, and finances, in-home visits as well as entrepreneur, resume writing, dress for success, and how to have a successful job interview instructions
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 78% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and total assets are large relative to annual expenses, but may not be spendable cash. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
