FACT:

Women and their children are the fastest growing population of homeless veterans.

 

Also unbelievably, 420 or 70% of the 600 veteran lives lost every month to suicide are NOT receiving government or VA services.

  • Solid barriers to receiving VA care are well known and with no community-based comprehensive mental health programs in our country, there are no alternatives for help.

  • As a result far too many female vets are left on their own to find relief from the symptoms of post-traumatic stress, military sexual trauma and other service-linked mental health disorders.

  • Sadly, their self-treatment combines with the out-of-control epidemics of opioid, substance and alcohol abuse which together generates heartbreaking suicide and morbidity statistics.

  • This is a true national disgrace.

  • Our Whispering Oaks Ranch pilot program provides genuine community-based resources.

  • We offer crisis intervention, comprehensive mental health and the special social service needs tailored for our women veterans and their children.

  • Our programs are designed to break the "surviving on the street" lifestyle of homelessness to achieve stable and independent living.

  • We have 3 to 9 month inpatient programs with a capacity of 250 women and 35 children.
