ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION

Founded in 2016, Village for Vets fills critical gaps in key services for unhoused and at-risk veterans in Los Angeles, supporting them on their journey to stability and independence. Each year it serves more than 2,000 individuals and families through weekly food box deliveries; twice-annual mobile dental clinics; short-term financial assistance to address emergencies; a case management division that provides access to photo IDs, move-in kits, sleeping bags, housing navigation, and referrals to outside services; and supportive services to prevent homelessness and/or re-house clients. All of these programs are housed on the VA campus or in association with programs and people who can help veterans enroll in additional services.
