Our mission is to provide safe, stable housing designed specifically to support the recovery of women veterans, and a great place to find your new “normal”.
Having a safe place to come home to can change everything. For retired service members facing homelessness, it is not just about having a roof overhead – it is about finally having room to rest, breathe, and begin again.
That is the heart of America For Veterans Foundation’s work. The organization helps create stable housing support for veterans in Clark County, Washington, with a special focus on women veterans who need safety, privacy, and a real chance to rebuild.
Who They Are & What They Do
America For Veterans Foundation is a 501(c)3 veteran charity based in Vancouver, Washington. Its mission is simple, urgent, and deeply needed – helping provide housing for homeless veterans in Clark County.
The foundation’s current work centers on Veterans Village, a housing initiative created for female veterans. It is designed to offer something many traditional shelters cannot fully provide: a safer, quieter, more private place to recover.
For a veteran who has gone without stable housing, that kind of space can mean a lot. It can mean sleeping without fear. It can mean having a door that closes. It can mean having enough stability to start thinking about tomorrow again.
Beyond Veterans Village, the foundation’s work centers on three core principles:
- Stable housing over temporary fixes: America For Veterans Foundation focuses on housing because recovery is harder without a secure place to live. A steady home base can make it easier to rest, heal, keep appointments, and plan for the future.
- Support for local veterans: The foundation serves homeless veterans in Clark County, Washington, making the mission feel close to home for donors who want their support to reach a specific veteran community.
- Dignity, safety, and privacy: Veterans Village is built around the idea that female vets deserve more than a crowded shelter bed. They deserve a place where they can feel safe, regain confidence, and move forward at their own pace.
The Need They’re Filling
Homelessness is more than just a housing problem. For a veteran, it can affect nearly every part of daily life – sleep, safety, health, transportation, appointments, work, and family connection.
That is why America For Veterans Foundation focuses on stable housing. A safe place to stay gives a veteran more than shelter. It gives them a starting point.
The need is still very real. According to the VA’s Point-in-Time Count, 32,882 veterans experienced homelessness on a single night in January 2024. Of those, 13,851 veterans were unsheltered, meaning they were living in places not meant for human habitation.
Women veterans face added challenges, too. VA News reported that 3,329 women veterans experienced homelessness in 2024, even after a 16% drop from the previous year. That is progress, but it also shows why safe, private, recovery-focused housing still matters.
America For Veterans Foundation helps meet that need by focusing on:
- Safety: Veterans need a place where they can sleep and recover without fear.
- Stability: Housing gives people a base to keep appointments, manage daily needs, and make future plans.
- Privacy: For women veterans especially, a more private housing setting can feel safer and more dignified.
- A fresh start: Stable housing can be the first step toward rebuilding confidence, routines, and independence.
