MISSION STATEMENT
Like the aid stations that are placed strategically behind combat zones, the HVF stands poised to receive veterans who are wounded and hurting and who need support and treatment as they transition to their new and healthy role in our community.
The HVF is a community-based aid station founded and administered by veterans. It provides transitional housing and support services to homeless and threatened veterans in Utah in order to transition them to self-sufficiency. The goal is reintegration into society of men and women, currently excluded from the benefits of productivity and self-sufficiency as a result of the physical and emotional wounds they carry.
- It is our compassion that drives our caring for needy veterans as well as our relationships with each other.
- We believe in the philosophy of being "our brother's keeper".
- We believe in the military commitment of duty, honor, and country.
- As a privately-supported agency, we are open and accountable.
The HVF is a private, non-profit corporation organized to provide transitional housing, psychotherapy, substance-abuse counseling, case management, employment guidance and community referral services to homeless veterans, committed to improve their social and economic status.
