Built by veterans, for veterans
Veterans & Patriots United is a group of homeless veterans who came together in July 2021 after experiencing failed programs and abusive non-profits while trying to recover from PTSD. They pooled their VA disability benefits to secure a communal sober living property where they imposed upon themselves sobriety and service to the community for healing — drawing inspiration from a principle of imposing duties on oneself rather than arguing about one's rights.
As they attracted more veterans and family members suffering from PTSD, the group invited trusted organizations and community members to offer help. Volunteers from the community responded immediately with jobs, counseling, service projects, and other forms of assistance. The organization's name reflects the patriotic nature of its union of civic-minded veterans and patriots who share a love of God and country.
