Soldier On

Soldier On is a private nonprofit organization that has been committed to ending veteran homelessness since 1994. Soldier On's mission is to help veterans reclaim their place in the community while returning meaning, dignity, and hope to their lives. Soldier On offers a continuum of ongoing care to veterans and their families that includes immediate and long-term housing with an array of support services delivered where they live. The goal is to provide homeless or at-risk homeless veterans with permanent, supportive, sustainable housing with services. Soldier On offers a variety of need-based housing solutions including emergency shelter, transitional housing, and permanent housing to effectively assist at-risk veterans. Soldier On provides direct supportive services and temporary financial assistance to veterans who are at-risk of homelessness in MA, NY, NJ, and PA through the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program. Soldier On has developed, constructed, and managed new and rehabbed permanent housing projects. The housing approach enables veterans to carry on healthy productive lives in homes of their own by integrating an array of support services delivered to them where they live. Soldier On has partnered with financial institutions to provide veterans and active duty service members the opportunity to gain free valuable resources for addressing credit and home issues to secure financial stability. Soldier On works with incarcerated and justice-involved veterans, operating multiple reintegration program.
