Help USA: Rebuilding Lives


USA Today recently reported 75,000 American veterans are homeless.  Fifteen percent of the homeless veterans served in Iraq and Afghanistan.  According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 2 million people were homeless in 2009 at some point, and those who are chronically homeless number around 112,000 people.

Help USA addresses the challenges facing the homeless.  Veterans, families in crisis, youth, those who are HIV positive, and victims of domestic violence are just some who fall under the purview of Help USA's mission.  As people build or rebuild their lives, Help USA tries to give them a vision of their own potential.
