Our Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Project (HVRP), at 2525 San Jacinto (at McGowan) – (713) 754-7051, collaborates with many veteran-serving organizations, including the VA, to ensure that homeless veterans receive all possible assistance in re-entering the workforce and community life in general. Over 70% of these veterans come to us earning between zero and $5,000 per year. Services include job readiness training, certification, and placement for individual homeless veterans. Our Social Services for Veteran Families (SSVF), at 2403 Caroline – (713) 754-7059, strives to leverage funding and our numerous community partnerships, to prevent homelessness and enhance the housing stability of very low-income veteran families. Since loss of a job is the # 1 trigger causing homelessness, this program has a strong job placement component. Our goal is to outreach to 300 low-income veteran families, to enroll 150 families, to place 100 family members in jobs, to provide Temporary Financial Assistance to 75 families, to link 100 families to new public or VA benefits, and to place 100 families in housing they can afford. To qualify, the veteran families must be homeless or at risk for homelessness and earning less than 50% of the Area Mean Family Income.) Our Returning Veteran Program, in Central Placement at 2525 San Jacinto, helps all veterans (regardless of homeless status or type of discharge) to find and retain employment.

St. Rita Foundation was founded in 2013 by Lonie Nguyen to provide aide relief to families in need. Our current project is helping those in rural villages in Vietnam with proper sustainable nutrition and healthcare. In Vietnam, there is a dire need for help and growth of the people. Many of the low lying areas get the help that they need from other nonprofit organizations but somehow other areas go unnoticed. With the help of the local nuns and priests, these villagers get minimal aid but the assistance that they provide at times is not sufficient. Many children that live in the rural villages do not have enough food to eat, clean running water or a decent place to sleep. Because there is no access to clean running water, most individuals become ill through waterborne contaminants. Many children are also severely malnourished and lack the basic nutrients to keep them sustained or alive. Unfortunately, many of these children become seriously underdeveloped and for some, die. They face illness such as: • Typhoid Fever • Encephalitis • Leptospirosis • Meningococcal Meningitis • Hepatitis To name a few but of course there are other issues that affect the well-being of these families.
