About my venture

Assisted living; long-term housing accommodations for Veterans. Housing, meals, transportation, shopping, medical scheduling, and activities. I aim to provide a better quality of living for displaced, homeless veterans (fully functioning veterans to start) who have selflessly served and protected our freedoms. The goal is to help those who have helped us, reduce the homeless population, possibly rehab housing in low-income neighborhoods, improve community value, make sure Veterans get help for those suffering from mental illnesses. This is a joint venture between myself and my husband; Veteran and current registered nurse. I have plans to expand to other counties once the first house is up and running. One of my main motivator was cultivated after I did a group projects focused on the health care of Veterans. This college assignment led me to begin research about how Veterans are housed once they come home.
