Challenge

Homeless veterans face a myriad of problems every day. We are doing our best at Veterans on the Rise to ensure that the veterans we serve can overcome the challenges they face. We provide a variety of integrative health and cultural events as well as peer group sessions to address challenges faced by veterans who are on the path to recovery.

Solution

This project will help Veterans On the Rise to host more events that will encourage homeless veterans to reclaim their dignity and embrace better lives as they work to reconnect with the community and stabilize their housing.

Long-Term Impact

Veterans on the Rise strives to build a strong community of veterans who be mutually supportive and focus on building lives that are balanced, safe, stable, and healthy. We encourage these veterans to get involved in their communities, to register to vote and to build habits that lift up their self-esteem.
