Our Mission
We do it through four kinds of help: benefits guidance, housing support that includes helping veterans find and apply for home adaptation assistance, addiction recovery, and mental health support through suicide prevention, peer support, and long-term wellness resources.
Who We Are
Nonprofit Status
Our Vets is a tax-exempt public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. EIN 39-3418352. View our IRS determination letter.
Our Vets is a veteran-focused nonprofit committed to improving the lives of U.S. military veterans and their families, especially those facing homelessness, addiction, mental health crises, or barriers to accessing earned benefits. We believe every veteran deserves dignity, stability, and a community that refuses to leave anyone behind.
We guide veterans as they identify the federal, state, and local benefits they may be entitled to, and we refer claims to accredited representatives. When basic needs are at risk, we connect homeless veterans to transitional and permanent housing solutions and the essential services required to regain stability. We also help veterans find and apply for home adaptation assistance to modify their homes for accessibility and independent living. For veterans battling substance use, we promote recovery and link them to drug and alcohol rehabilitation resources designed with veterans in mind. For those struggling with mental health, we connect them with suicide prevention, peer support, and long-term wellness resources.
