OUR MISSION
ELIMINATE HOMELESSNESS AMONG VETERANS IN CENTRAL FLORIDA
When we were first founded in 2008, there were approximately 1,800 homeless veterans living in Brevard County. As a result of our homeless veteran street outreach program “Search and Rescue“, as of 2022, Brevard County’s population had been reduced to less than 200, an amazing 90% reduction! While we are very proud of the work we have accomplished, we still have a way to go before we can say mission complete. The rapid rise of housing costs in our area and historical inflation places low-income veterans and their families at-risk of homelessness every day. To ensure that we never go back to a situation like 2008, we are very focused on preventing homelessness in the first place for our veteran families. While homeless street outreach is a core part of our culture, prevention case management and financial aid assistance are a rapidly growing part of our operations, representing 33% of all clients assisted in 2022.
While being successful at your primary purpose as an organization is the most important factor, it is just as important to be fiscally responsible. That is why we are so proud of our continuous Gold Star rating on GuideStar, and our perfect “4 Star” rating with Charity Navigator, the trusted leader’s in non-profit accountability.
We hope as you go through our site you will be as inspired as we are to achieve our mission of “Eliminating Homelessness Among Veterans in Central Florida”.
