How is VHA different?
VHA is an all-volunteer organization that connects donor generosity with vetted, veteran-centric housing opportunities. We ensure that every dollar goes directly to nonprofit organizations with proven track records in managing and executing impactful housing projects. VHA is similar to a Community Foundation for veteran housing and aligned services.
How does Veterans Housing Alliance use donations?
100% of the donations we receive go directly toward supporting veterans’ housing initiatives. Donors can choose to direct their funds into one of three channels:
- Construction: New housing or rehabilitation of existing units.
- Programs and Services: Initiatives that promote independent living for veterans.
- Operations: Supporting organizations that manage affordable housing for veterans. We vet each organization and project to ensure funds are used effectively and transparently.
