About Us


Who Are We?


The Vets on Track Foundation (VoTF) is working to reduce veteran homelessness and suicides by providing holistic care for those transitioning from life on the streets.  From transitional housing immediately following homeless, to full-fledged home furnishings in a permanent home, and continuing mental and social care to inspire our warriors to discover hope, healing, and purpose – we work to ensure every veteran and first responder under our care has the necessary tools to make a successful
transition back into their community.

 

The Vets on Track Foundation is a state and federally certified 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We advocate on behalf of all military veterans, first responders and their families, through our proactive outreach efforts. 


Our Federal ID number is EIN: 46-3805203 

The Issue

Tonight, more than 600,000 Americans will sleep in alleys, abandoned buildings, and under bridges because they have no home. Many of these are this nation’s forgotten heroes – the men and women who once proudly served in a military uniform…yet today they are finding themselves experiencing the ravages of homelessness.  Without support programs like our “Veterans Outreach Services,” “Beyond the Streets” and “R.A.W.”, these heroes would be placed into empty houses and have no follow-on care and

support.  Ultimately, they could find themselves returning to the streets before they had a chance to heal. 

OUR MISSION

Our mission (goal) is to end veteran homelessness and significantly reduce the number of veteran suicides by helping re-build self-worth, self-dignity, pride and purpose.  These are all traits needed to make a successful transition from homelessness and return as a valued member of society. The Vets on Track Foundation ensures that each veteran exiting homelessness has the necessary resources to make a smooth transition.  From temporary to permanent housing, household furnishings and follow-on care, we eliminate a huge financial burden and truly
give our unsung heroes a hand-up in restarting their lives. 

VISION

To establish “Beyond the Streets” and R.A.W. Programs is multiple locations throughout Virginia and the rest of the country.  We are working to establish a “Veteran Tiny Home Village and Distribution and Resource Center” in the Richmond area that will serve veterans, first responders and their families throughout Virginia. Long-term, we will develop a “Veteran Tiny Home Village and Distribution and Resource Center” in other cities across the country to support those in need – no matter where they are.

 THE PROCESS

Through our “Veteran Outreach Services” we provide veterans and their families with temporary housing through our Veteran Village.  The Village gives them an opportunity to have a place to call home while they regain their footing on life.  Through our “Beyond the Streets” program, we furnish homes for veterans, first responders and their families after they gain permanent housing from our Veteran Village, or directly from homelessness.  Through our “R.A.W.” program, we continue working with our “Beyond the Streets” program clients and others, offering them an array of support services that work to inspire hope, healing, and purpose which leads to positive outcomes in their life.
