Almost 1.2 million Veterans Live Below the Poverty Level and countless numbers are Residing in Sub-standard and Transitional Housing.
Why We Are Needed
4-million Veterans have a service-connected disability.
Veteran women are more than three times as likely as non-veteran women to live in poverty and experience homelessness.
How We Are Being The Difference
Started on the premises to turn distressed houses into affordable homes for Veterans, Home Sweet Home now focuses on safe shelter for Homeless Veterans, the rigors Homebound Veterans have to adequately maintain their residence, addressing the challenges of sub-standard housing and making a transitional living situation, as temporary as it may be, feel like home.
Our Service to Veterans in need

• Provide Essential Wellbeing Support

Profound Lasting Differences Made

United Relief Foundation diligently respects and protects the privacy of the Veterans we serve. Army Veteran Theron insistence to make a video testimony was the exception.
Safe, adequate shelter for our homeless and homebound Veterans, additional attention for at-risk and transitional housed Veterans and self-sufficiency tools for all Veterans undoubtedly improves the state of mind, body, and spirit of men and women Veterans increasing their ability to be more involved in the wellbeing of other Veterans as well as being positive contributors to their communities and society.
Today is a good day to do a good deed that will help our Veterans in need know they have not been forgotten and their service has not been forsaken.
