MISSION @ VETERANS NEW LIFE HAVENTo provide sober transitional living for indigent veterans and to offer supportive services to help veterans recover from addiction and/or life’s misfortunes quickly so they can return to a successful, independent lifestyle.
Veterans New Life Haven is in Florida, but is open to veterans across the nation.
Our vision is to change the lives of as many indigent veterans as we can in the U.S by opening Veterans New Life Haven facilities across the nation.
Veterans New Life Haven would like to raise enough funds to continue providing sober transitional living in Florida, as well as open other facilities across the country. The facility is a stepping stone for homeless veterans to transition to a better quality of life. VNLH also wants to extend our services and offer safe sober transitional living for veterans and their families.

WHY ARE VETERANS HOMELESS?A common question our fundraisers are asked, while raising money for homeless and disabled veterans is, of course, “Why are they homeless?” or "How did they get this way?"
In addition to the complex set of factors already affecting all homeless people: extreme shortage of affordable housing, livable income, and access to affordable healthcare, a large number of displaced and at-risk veterans live with the lingering affects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and substance abuse. These factors all become compounded by a lack of family and social support networks for homeless veterans. While most homeless veterans are single unaffiliated men, most housing money in existing federal homelessness programs, in contrast, is devoted to helping homeless families or homeless women with dependent children, as stated in Understanding Homelessness: New Policy and Research Perspectives, published by Fannie Mae Foundation, 1997.
It is the mission of the VSO to further help and support the homeless, disabled and needy veteran population through various fundraising efforts. The more the organization grows the less of a threat homelessness and lack of resources to treat the needy is to our local veteran population.
