The Missing Bridge Between
the Street and Housing
A real‑estate‑anchored stabilization center that helps veterans exit homelessness,
access critical services, and reconnect to community.
Impact You Can Help Make Possible

• 5,680 essential services delivered — including peer support, housing navigation, benefits assistance, and resource connections

• 11,000+ support services delivered each year
Proven Track Record
Since 2021 — on less than $200,000 raised — we’ve already helped 60+ veterans exit homelessness and provided thousands of life-supporting services.

Evidence & Outcomes
Why this model works - and how we’ll scale impact.
-
Peer-run respite is associated with reduced inpatient and emergency department use [5].
-
Medi-Cal peer support and national financing guidance create a reimbursable pathway for core services (credentialing, billing, payer integration) [3] [4].
-
Federal/state guidance positions peer services across the crisis continuum and as voluntary, short-term alternatives to hospitalization [6] [7].
-
States with established peer-run respites (e.g., Wisconsin) document program features and operations [8].
-
Evaluators have field-tested toolkits for data, outcomes, and quality assurance you can plug into (HSRI) [9].
-
California’s BHCIP match requirement (10% for nonprofits in prior rounds/RFAs) [1] [2]
