VETERANS ASSISTANCE FOUNDATION

  
 

"Veterans Helping Veterans"

  
               
  The Veterans Assistance Foundation (VAF) was founded in 1994.  It is a nonprofit, tax exempt 501 (c)(3) corporation.  It is comprised of veterans who are nationally recognized as experts on the issues of homelessness among veterans. They are dedicated to veterans advocacy.  The VAF operates two Veterans Assistance Centers and three transitional living programs in the State of Wisconsin and one in the State of California (E-mail at vafed@centurytel.net)  
               
 

Mission Statement

To operate programs designed to assist homeless or at risk of becoming homeless veterans maintain or improve their status in society by providing a safe and secure environment through which they can access a wide array of human services.  The focus of these programs is to assist rural homeless veterans with the services that have prevented them from becoming re-established in their communities. 

It is the focus of the VAF to: 
"Transition homeless veterans (or those veterans at risk of becoming homeless) into society's mainstream.  This will be done by assisting them to obtain meaningful employment and subsequently - safe, decent, and sanitary housing."  Under these guidelines of the Veterans Assistance Program, the Center is not an emergency shelter.
