We are the real deal. Since 1974, our work has been informed by the needs and experiences of underserved veterans. Every year, we provide wraparound services to 3,000 veterans in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our expertise and community of clients motivate us to influence systems of care at local, state, and national levels to better serve all veterans across the U.S.
Our mission is to prevent and end veteran homelessness through wraparound care and informed advocacy. We understand that the issues veterans face - including homelessness, instability, unemployment, disability, and isolation - are interconnected and require comprehensive support. Our direct services support veterans in three key areas:
Access to healthcare, counseling, essential services, and a supportive community of peers is vital for health and well-being.
We believe that every veteran deserves a safe and stable place to call home, and we recognize that not every path to housing is the same.
Securing income through employment or disability income is key to restoring independence and dignity.
From the halls of the State Capitol to county sheriff’s offices, we increase awareness of veterans’ issues and promote positive policy changes through education and advocacy.
Trainings
We scale our impact through free training and technical assistance to thousands of providers every year, improving their skillset to support veterans.
Research & Publications
Informed by our direct services, we publish essential research to deepen understanding of veterans' issues and military culture.
We serve 3,000+ San Francisco Bay Area veterans every year. The majority are unhoused, low-income, older than 55, and/or have a disability.
