Heroes Homegate

Description

Heroes Home Gate is finalizing a $7.6 million capital campaign to build a new 24-bed facility on 2017 E Linwood Blvd, that will provide veterans a safe, supportive environment that will ignite positive change through love and outreach.

While our current facilities provide the ability to meet our Veteran’s basic needs, we are challenged with many constraints, including sharing the building with other tenants, who can sometimes be a negative influence.

With the expansion project, we will elevate the quality of living for our Veterans and provide them with a more private and tranquil environment where they can focus on their long-term health.

What Heroes Home Gate Does

The Heroes Home Gate program has successfully placed over 70% of those who have stayed with us into permanent housing.

Heroes Home Gate is a residential case management program where each Veteran recieves one on one attention and care from a dedicated staff member to help them reach their goals. In addition to providing safe, stable shelter and three square meals a day, some of the things we do with Veterans include the following:

• Help obtaining vital documents such as a birth certificate, DD214, social security card, state id, or driver’s license
• Help finding employment
• Assistance negotiating and paying off evictions, back rent, and past utility bills
• Assistance applying for housing voucher programs like HCV (previously Section 8), HUDVASH, or Shelter Plus Care
• Assistance finding and applying for affordable housing
• Assistance with applying for service connected disability, SSI, or SSDI
