"I stayed at a Homeward Bound Veterans location, and it’s hard to put into words how wonderful the experience was. During my time there, I was able to address several medical issues and reconnect with the Veterans Administration. Since then, I’ve had consistent medical appointments through the VA—something that likely wouldn’t have happened without the support I received at Homeward Bound. Being surrounded by other veterans with similar challenges made all the difference. It’s truly been a life-changing experience.

“When I arrived, I was in bad shape. I was dealing with financial issues, legal troubles, and more. Being here has given me the opportunity to navigate the court system, access housing resources, and utilize the programs available to veterans.Thanks to Michael, the executive director, I’ve been able to accomplish everything I needed to move forward. If you’re struggling, please reach out to us. Life on the streets isn’t easy for anyone. If you’re dealing with a drug or alcohol problem, you can do yourself a huge favor by calling Homeward Bound and signing up to live in one of the facilities. Thank you."

“My name is Bobby Jackson. I was suffering from PTSD, and in and out of psychosis. Since moving in, I’ve found a peaceful, structured, and supportive environment that has been essential to my healing.

They’ve helped me actively search for employment, access veteran assistance through the VA hospital, and stay connected to recovery through regular 12-step meetings. These resources have given me structure, motivation, and a renewed sense of hope.

This home, and the people supporting it, have made it possible for me to stay sober, find stability, and start building a better life.

I am fully committed to continuing this progress—staying sober, finding meaningful work, and living a healthy, productive life. I’m deeply grateful for everything Homeward Bound Veterans has done for me.”

“My name is Russell. I spent many months homeless and even contemplated suicide. Homeward Bound Veterans has been a life-changing experience for me. They've helped me find work, stay clean and sober, and live in a structured, supportive environment.

They also connected me with veteran services that I didn't know were available.

After nearly five years on the streets, I finally feel like I have purpos tability, and hope.

Ask anything”

“My name is Roberto,In the army I had aspirations to join Delta Force, but my career was cut short. There were many things happening in my family at the time and I left to try to help. After my discharge things started to spiral. I had many jobs and eventually ended up incarcerated on and off for many years. When my dad was sick I moved to CA and was able to support myself for sometime until I couldn't.I was on the streets, with my scooter and a backpack. Today I am so grateful I was connected through a VA rep. to Nick, to Mike, Anwar, and everybody here. I've been looking for work, talking, and following up.

I think there should be more homes like this, it keeps us away from negativity for those of us who do actually want to grow. Thank you all for being around and everybody else who supports these programs.”
