We had a Veteran call us who was desperate to be housed. He spent 25 years in our Armed Forces, twice as a Marine, Twice as an Army Soldier, once as a Naval Coreman and since he got out of the military had been struggling to find housing. Every place he appllied took a large amount of money for a deposit and a background check fee and because he had his indentity stolen, his credit had been ruined and no one would house him. This all happended due to a traumatic brain injury while he was serving in Iraq.
Affordable Homeownership Foundation met with him and we had room at one of our houses that we manage so we were able to house him immediately, we paid for his first month's rent plus deposit and we are working with him to get back on his feet and correct the issues with his credit!
Thanks to the Vetertans Assistance Fund another deserving member of our Veteran Community was able to be housed. Thank you so much for all you do to make this a reality for so many deserving Veterans!
