Give today and leave no Veteran homeless.
Being homeless is unthinkable for most Americans. Becoming homeless is a nightmare in hell for those living outside. We will provide food and shelter for homeless veterans in America across every major city. We own 100 acres to provide housing, where they can enjoy nature and learn to grow fresh food, raise farm animals, and make a living. This will provide jobs, shelter and a income for homeless veterans to help them get back on their feet.
HUD-VASH enrolls the largest number and largest percentage of Veterans who have experienced long-term or repeated homelessness. At the end of FY 2019, there were 90,749 Veterans with active HUD-VASH vouchers and 83,684 vouchers in use. Although flawless counts are impossible to come by – the transient nature of homeless populations presents a major difficulty – the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) estimates that 40,056 veterans are homeless on any given night.

Providing Food and Shelter. We are helping to feed people in the long lines created by the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a natural disaster,14 million Americans may become homeless if evicted. First time jobless claims jump to almost a million people. Their are still good people in the world who have a kind heart and wonderful spirt to help during this monumental challenge. The pandemic has spread throughout American life, you don't have to catch the virus to be affected, due to job loss and dwindling savings, which leads to bills going unpaid, unable to buy groceries and eviction. Americans have 25 million in rental debt and close to 5 million people facing eviction, some of the most vulnerable people being evicted are seniors, veterans and people with disabilities. Relief continue to stall and States are running out of money. Unemployed Americans are seeing financial ruin and homelessness in the middle of a raging pandemic, with no way to avoid being put out in the cold, sleeping in their car or tent is mentally affecting their physical and emotional health. Food line are growing longer and food banks are seeing a surge in the amount of people needing food. Evictions are linked to increased COVID-19 infections, overcrowded living environments, inability to social-distance or keep up good hygiene. We have provided shelter and food for over 180,000 people in need.
U.S. Support Millions Need Food Banks And Shelter
Homelessness can carry a stigma. But data shows there are many factors that contribute to the crisis.
As many as 3.5 million Americans are homeless, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. It says most of those people live on the streets or in a shelter.
That’s just one definition. It doesn’t count the 7.5 million Americans who live with others because of high housing costs.
The newest data shows the homeless population is mostly male, white and middle-aged. But the crisis goes far beyond that. More Americans are homeless today compared to before the Great Recession.
The list of contributing factors is growing. One of the big ones is affordable housing.
More than one-quarter of renters pay their landlords at least half their monthly income, according to new study. Researchers found 75% of them can’t afford other bills after they pay rent. Experts say that can create a cycle of poverty.
Domestic violence is also a contributing factor, especially among women. An estimated 15% of adults who live in homeless shelters say they survived domestic abuse.
Unemployment, substance abuse and mental illness can also lead to homelessness. Researchers acknowledge the challenges of measuring the homeless population. Federal agencies define and measure homelessness differently. Plus, many measurements rely on self-reporting. Experts say that could mean the homeless population is higher than any measurement.

Our programs empower the most vulnerable among us to improve their quality of life by providing shelter, food, water, scholarships and medical bill assistance during hardships.
