After 11 years of helping women veterans across Western North Carolina find housing stability, Aura Home Women Vets is closing its doors. But its impact will continue.
Aura Home’s Board of Directors has chosen to transfer the organization’s remaining assets to Homeward Bound of WNC, where those resources will support continued efforts to prevent and end homelessness in our community.
Since its founding, Aura Home has served women veterans across nine Western North Carolina counties and helped 607 women veterans experiencing housing instability. Its work focused heavily on prevention, helping people remain safely and stably housed through assistance with rent, utilities, mortgages, vehicle repairs, home repairs and other critical needs.
As part of the transition, Homeward Bound received an $80,000 gift from Aura Home and its six-passenger van, with proceeds from the eventual sale of Aura Home’s Hendersonville property still to come.
We are deeply grateful to Aura Home Women Vets for the years of service it provided to our community and for entrusting Homeward Bound with the resources to carry that work forward.
Thank you, Aura Home, for 11 years of making a difference for women veterans in Western North Carolina. Your legacy lives on.
