Launching 2026: Veteran housing services coming to Tarrant County. Join our mission.
From Crisis

Our mission: take veteran families from crisis to lasting stability through our 4-phase Foundations for Home™ curriculum—emergency housing, rental stability, and a pathway to homeownership.

The Foundations for Home™ Curriculum

Why We're Building This
National data shows that 30-40% of housed veterans return to homelessness within 2 years. Most programs stop at emergency placement—we believe that's not enough.
Our Foundations for Home™ curriculum is designed to extend support beyond typical timelines, building toward wealth and stability—not just a roof.
The Moment We're Working Toward
Every veteran deserves this moment — receiving keys and knowing they have a stable home. Not just for tonight, but for good.
Our Foundations for Home™ curriculum is designed to continue beyond move-in — through rental stability, credit building, and ultimately, homeownership.
