While their initial goal is to help homeless veterans get off the streets and into secure, safe, clean housing that offers a supportive environment free of drugs and alcohol, Fan of the Feather’s programs are designed to help these same men and women (and sometimes even families) to return to independent living. Along with emergency and transitional housing, they teach life management skills, provide financial and family counseling and career development for the homeless. Did you know that one-fourth of the entire homeless population in the United States are veterans?
