Dear faithful supporter,

Did you know that ...

Approximately 8% of all US veterans live in California.
Veterans in California represented 31% of the national homeless veteran population.
Veterans face growing mental health issues, with 1 in 5 from Iraq or Afghanistan experiencing PTSD or depression. Many don't seek help, leading to substance abuse, homelessness, and family strain. Despite $1 billion invested in prevention, veteran suicide rates remain high.
Veterans make up approximately 8 percent of the 2.2 million people incarcerated in jails and prisons in the United States

At Veteran Social Services Inc., we're on a mission is to empower and support ALL Veterans and their families in our community by providing housing support and safe havens, valuable skills, education-focused mentoring, vocational training, benefit assistance, group activities, and more. “We’ve been where you are.” Ultimately, our housing-first and harm reduction approach aims to honor the sacrifice of our Veterans by offering them a dignified and supportive place they can proudly call home.

Our "Bridge to Freedom" housing program offers a welcoming home up to 14 Veteran men at any given time, providing a supportive environment they can truly call home. As a community, it's both our privilege and responsibility to stand behind those who have bravely served our nation and their family. Tragically, in Los Angeles, up to 8% of incarcerated individuals are Veterans, facing formidable challenges reintegrating into civilian life, including housing. Beyond providing shelter, our goal is to create an environment where Veterans can thrive, offering a range of resources and programs to facilitate their transition and engagement in daily life.

At Veteran Social Services, we are honored to create a "Safe Base" to our Veterans, and here is how you can help:
