How do we verify our veterans
When helping a veteran that comes to our organization, we do verify them. We ask for a form of Government ID and their DD-214 to check their veteran status. We help any veteran that has served 91 days active duty and has been discharged honorable or general. We are unable to help any vet that has an “other than honorable” discharge.

We do not chase our veterans
HWAU looks at our veterans as brothers that are accountable for their own actions. We help those that ask and are ready to make a change in their lives. We are training our veterans to be their own chief or first sergeant, to learn to take their charge of their lives for the better. So we do not chase, we do not hound, we give tools and guidance to boost the confidence of our veterans to be successful.

Our Programs
Our beliefs follow Maslow’s hierarchy of needs in that when our veterans are safe, secure, and have a means to be gainfully employed, they will be successful. Our primary mission is to keep veterans off the street and help them succeed in life after the military. The four areas that we focus on are;
Veteran housing
Education and training
Job placement
Wheels 4 Vets
