#no1leftbehind is a capital campaign to raise funds for the Community for Veterans, a collaboration among Welcome Home, Inc., Truman VA Hospital and Columbia Housing Authority that will address the needs of homeless veterans in our community. The new Community for Veterans will provide housing for nearly three times as many veterans as the current Welcome Home, Inc. facility, and will include space for women veterans and veterans with families. A New Supportive Services will house staff engaged in case management to provide social and employment services our veterans need to become independent and productive members of the greater community. This project is intended to be a hand up -- not a hand out.
No man or woman should ever experience homelessness
especially our veterans. This is a chance for us to give back to our
community including the men and women that fought for our freedoms and
our homes. Now it's time for us to fight for their homes.
