Welcome Home Veterans USA was established as a direct result of responding to a local need. The situation was deplorable and heart wrenching. After a considerable amount of prayer and research, it was time to take action. In Shiawassee County alone, there are approx. 5,600 veterans. In speaking with Veterans Affairs in Corunna, MI, many veterans are living in their cars or temporarily placed in ho
tels. Michigan alone has 660,773 veterans as of 9/30/13. The National Low Income Housing Coalition released a study called, "Housing Instability Among Our Veterans". This report details the characteristics and housing needs of veterans. There is evidence supporting the fact that veterans who are racial minorities, females, and those with disabilities who served after September 11, 2011 have the greatest housing cost burden, placing them at serious risk for homelessness. Other disheartening statistics showed that low income female-headed veteran families are just as likely as married veteran families to experience housing cost burden. Welcome Home Veterans (WHV) is a faith-based vital non-profit 501(c) (3) organization which seeks to provide housing to veterans and their families in an environment that promotes camaraderie and supports spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being. Our goal is to acquire facilities designed for veterans and their families. There are many veterans that are struggling financially and unable to afford quality housing. WHV aims to address this issue by providing adequate and quality housing, specifically designed for veterans and their families.
