VAlanthropy is building apartments to increase the availability of affordable housing in our communities, where veterans will be proud to live. We provide permanent, affordable, supportive housing to veterans needing comfortable accommodation. Our apartments do not detract from the nearby neighborhoods. Tenant participation requires VA case management and a code of conduct that ensures support to meet our veteran residents’ unique needs.
As a nonprofit organization, rent will remain affordable, and there will be no time restriction on how long someone can occupy one of our apartments as long as they abide by the terms and conditions of the lease and code of conduct. There will be three phases to expand the supply of necessary housing for US Military Veterans and other low-income veterans with disabling conditions or other significant challenges at ongoing risk of homelessness.
Phase One
Phase one is underway. Our directors, who receive no compensation, purchased our first two-bedroom, 2 ½ bath home near the Dorn VA Medical Center.
As of February 2023, a female veteran with two children occupied the first of what we hope will be many more such homes.
Our phase one goal is to continue to buy or build 1–3-bedroom homes.
Phase two: A veteran-only community
The Hidden Wounds Project will build twelve sustainable, high-quality one-bedroom apartments for homeless veterans in Sumter County, South Carolina.
Along with the apartments, the Hidden Wounds Project will provide supportive services, such as case management, counseling, community engagement, and job training. We will be located near the Veterans Administration (VA) clinic, which will allow us to transport the veterans to and from the medical and supportive services provided by the VA.
These essential components keep the veterans on track to overcome the emotional and physical trauma that brings them to the point of homelessness while living independently in security and safety.




Phase Three
Our initial goal is to provide homes to more than 100 veterans by 2026 and expand our program to other communities nationally by working with developers and local governments in neighborhoods with high homeless veteran populations.
All donations are tax-deductible.
