Our history has pushed TJH to become better and to evolve so that the mission to “end Veteran homelessness” captures our ability to be proactive and to be socially responsible to factors impacting Veteran homelessness. The foundation of our mission strategy is Veteran Outreach. These strategies honor the Veterans’ service and sends the message that their nation cares!

  • Education/Awareness:That Veterans are at risk and need their neighbors and community’s help.
  • Crisis/Disaster Relief:Recovering Veterans from a crisis and reducing the life impact of a disaster.
  • Transitional Facility:The operation of a 15-bed facility to transition homeless male Veterans into housing.
  • Housing Retention: Providing Veterans at risk of homelessness with specialized navigation and harm reduction services; connecting them to their community.

Mission Strategy Through the Eyes of a Veteran:

“I am a Vietnam Veteran. I was introduced to TJH shortly after being diagnosed with cancer. I am housed and have been independent of others care my entire life. The diagnosis of cancer has been tough and very scary. Feeling hopeless and angry, I went to my local Veteran Service Office (VSO) for help. I was fighting the impulse to shut down and withdraw all together. The VSO called TJH. I did not know where to start, or understand what was happening to me, or how to navigate the many appointments that are now critical. TJH understands, and they have connections that help me. I am not alone, and that feels really good.”

All donations go to fund these strategies. Contribute today.

Our priority is to our Veterans!

Our program transitions homeless Veterans off the streets or out from under bridges into permanent housing, treatment, and appropriate employment.  We develop the social, emotional and employment skills that sustain independence, and connect them to the VA, to their County Veteran Services Officer (VSO) and to local resources for eligible benefits.

The Journey Home loves our Veterans, so we lower the barriers that would otherwise prevent a homeless Veteran into placement and provide the specialized programing to support them.  We personalize our programs and services to support Veterans through their recovery.  Patience, with accountability, provide the Veteran stable support as they stay engaged in our programing.  Mistakes are used as a stepping stone in the development of not only new skills but of confidence and hope.

Veterans with Purple Hearts, and Silver and Bronze Stars, walk into our doors homeless.
Homeless Veterans are heroes of this great Country and are numbered amongst the wounded.

Here’s a testimonial from one of our past clients:

My dad moved into his new Apartment yesterday!
I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything The Journey Home and everyone else who helped him and donated today.

He hasn’t had his own home since I was a little girl due to his struggles and you all gave him a 2nd chance at life.

I just got the 2nd happiest phone call I’ve ever received tonight. He loves his new place.
The first one was when he called to tell me he was going to The Journey Home to try and get better.

I haven’t heard happiness in his voice in years, and It’s because all of you.

Thank you again! I’ve waited to hear him happy for a very long time.
