Our Story
Libra Housing Foundation was created in response to the growing number of veterans in our community experiencing homelessness, unemployment, and mental health barriers. We recognized the need for an organization that not only provides shelter, but also walks alongside veterans through every step of their rebuilding journey.
We exist to bridge that gap ,offering practical support, community connection, and a pathway to a better life.
