At U.S.VETS Hawai'i, the mission goes beyond providing temporary relief. Through the signature Veterans in Progress program, the focus is on helping veterans completely transform their lives, moving them from a state of surviving to truly thriving.

The Veterans in Progress program is built on three essential pillars designed to create lasting stability and independence:
Stable, Safe Housing: Providing a secure foundation where veterans can find safety, peace of mind, and a place to call home.

New Skills & Higher Income: Offering the training and resources necessary to help veterans build new capabilities, expand their career options, and increase their earning potential.

Independence Through Work: Empowering veterans to regain self-sufficiency and long-term confidence through meaningful employment.

DID YOU KNOW? 📊

2 in 10 veterans living with PTSD also battle a substance use disorder.

True healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It requires treating the whole person, supporting the mind, strengthening the body, and providing a safe place to live. When our service members return home, the invisible wounds of war can affect every area of their lives.

At U.S.VETS Hawai'i, we are on a mission to end veteran homelessness and provide the holistic, trauma-informed care our local heroes deserve. But we cannot do it alone. 🤝🌴

How YOU Can Help Our Hawai'i Veterans Today:

• Donate Directly: Financial contributions allow us to provide housing, mental health counseling, and job training. Every dollar stays local to support Hawaii's veterans.

• Volunteer Your Time: From serving meals to assisting with facility events, your time makes a massive difference in creating a welcoming community.

• Donate Supplies: Essential household items, clothes, and hygiene products help veterans transitioning into safe, permanent housing.

• Spread Awarenes: Share this post! Education reduces stigma and ensures a veteran in need knows where to find a supportive community.

Let's honor those who served by ensuring they have the safe haven and care they need right here in the islands. 🌺

“You shall conquer.”

The encouraging words from Navy veteran Jefferey Nunes of U.S.VETS Wai`anae shine a light on and all the ways veterans find a path forward. His loyal lap dog, Poco “TT” Tiny Tina, is a reminder that healing, hope and connection can come in many forms.

Where do you turn for inspiration?

By providing local residents and veterans with accessible health education and workforce development, the center isn't just offering jobs—it’s building long-term community resilience.

DID YOU KNOW? 📊

On a single night in January 2025, 32,495 veterans experienced homelessness across the U.S.

While that number represents a 56% decrease since 2010 - proving that dedicated housing initiatives and wraparound support services truly work - our mission is far from over.

The truth is, one veteran without a home is one too many.

Here in Hawai'i, our service members stood on the front lines to protect our freedom. Now, it is our kuleana to ensure they have a safe, stable place to live when they return home.

How you can make a difference today:
🇺🇸 Donate to fund critical housing programs.
🇺🇸 Volunteer your time to support local veterans.
🇺🇸 Spread awareness by sharing this post with your community.

Every bit of support helps us bring that number down to zero.
