Urgent Need

America is the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. One of the bravest things one can do is put on the uniform to risk all to defend our country.

Many of those brave soldiers are hurting right now. There are 37,252 homeless Veterans on the streets of our nation – they need YOUR help today!

Our simple yet innovative and efficient process has reduced the Veteran’s waiting time for permanent housing from weeks to literally minutes. This means YOU can help house a Veteran Hero right now.

How It Works

Veterans Matter  works directly with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and local VA Homeless Programs to provide rental deposits and the Veteran’s portion of the first month’s rent for chronically homeless veterans.

In other words, if you are the veteran sitting with a newly signed lease for YOUR  own apartment but lack the funds for the security deposit, your VA social worker requests it from Veterans Matter. Your conforming request is automatically approved and the landlord hands you the keys and you cross the threshold. Welcome home soldier.

Yes, it’s that easy.

Every single dollar we deploy results in another veteran housed in LONG-TERM VA-supported permanent housing that has a 91% success rate keeping them housed!
