Rapidly house homeless individuals, providing intake, move-in assistance, assessment, referral and life skills. SfV provides move-in essentials consisting of furniture, linens, personal hygiene and kitchenware kits. This is followed by immediate assessment to determine needs and referrals for health, counseling services and benefits access. Once housed and connected with case management, new Veteran residents are offered participation in a series of Life Skills workshops geared toward easing and supporting the transition from homelessness to stable housing. These workshops cover topics that include responsibility for and habits of basic housekeeping, cooking, use of appliances, paying rent and receiving mail.
Our model focuses on taking "Invisible Veterans" off the streets of our cities and placing them into a safety net of support that provides immediate and long-term housing, treatment and recovery for addiction, healthy meals, basic necessities, and clothing, as well as medical care, mental health counseling, life-skills training and workforce development support.
Our mission is to identify connect and empower Women Veterans: individually, in local community groups, and electronically, in recognition and celebration of their military service, in recognition as veterans who pledge to leave no female comrade behind, and to continue to serve others. We will Empower, Connect, and Serve.
