The initiative has been given the moniker OPERATION HOME. While the causes are many, the singular reality is staggering: 1 out of every 3 homeless men you see on the street is a veteran. With the anticipated return of over 140,000 service men and women from Iraq and Afghanistan, HELP USA is developing upwards of 1,000 units of permanent housing for male and female war veterans and their families in states along the east and west coasts over the next three years. At HELP USA sites across the nation, veterans currently receive state of the art living accommodations in addition to a nationally-recognized comprehensive package of social, psychological, educational, and medical services. HELP USA will now be able to meet the needs of an unprecedented number of women returning from active duty, many of whom are mothers, with an architectural and service model designed to support families and children. HELP USA has been named a national Congressional model for the homeless with its holistic approach to providing housing and services for individuals and families in crisis for its work over the past twenty years. To date, the organization has successfully served more than 250,000 people in its 30 residences in New York, New Jersey, Nevada, Texas, and Pennsylvania.
