Homes for the Brave

Homes for the Brave Homes for the Brave is a nonprofit dedicated to providing housing and services to homeless Veterans.

In addition to housing, we offer case management, life skills, vocational services, computer classes, and mental health services. In 2002, ABRI opened Homes for the Brave (HFTB), a 42 bed transitional living facility. The program is available to male Veterans and non-veterans who are homeless with a special focus on those who struggle with mental illness and/or substance abuse problems. Female Soldiers: Forgotten Heroes provides the same services for up to 14 homeless women, primarily Veterans.

Earlier this week was National Make a Dog’s Day… Day! However, all of us here at HFTB think this should be more than just a day. There’s a reason why dogs are known as man’s best friend. There is just nothing like the warmth and security you feel when close to your furry companion or the elation of seeing a friendly pooch while out on a stroll. It is not uncommon for a Veteran we serve to be accompanied by an emotional support or service dog. As a result, we do our best to ensure they are able to be housed together. We love dogs of all kinds here at Homes for the Brave and celebrate their importance throughout history and our everyday lives.

What an incredible day! ⛳✨

A huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who came out and made our 9th Annual Mini-Golf Tournament such a smashing success! The night was beautiful, the putts were sinking (mostly!), and the laughter was abundant. Everyone truly had a wonderful time!

Thanks to your incredible generosity and support, we're thrilled to announce that we raised a significant amount to further our mission of serving Veterans experiencing homelessness. Every swing, every sponsor, and every smile directly contributes to providing vital transitional housing, support through programs and services, and hope for our Veterans. This is what community looks like!

And, get ready to mark your calendars! Our 10th Annual Mini-Golf Tournament will be held on November 20th, 2026! Start perfecting that putt-putt form now – we can't wait to see you back on the green!
