About us

We connect veterans at their point of need to affordable housing options, legal assistance, mental health and other critical resources in their area. Our ongoing research, advocacy and collaboration allows us to provide women veterans introductions to life enriching resources and programs. Our program staff is well versed in local, state and nationwide programs and continuously nurture relationships to empower our women warriors. Example: providing a woman veteran with an introduction to an outpatient trauma clinic. In fy17/18, 650 women and 248 children were connected to requested resource agencies.
