About New Directions for Veterans

Location:

11303 Wilshire Blvd. Bldg. 116, Los Angeles, CA 90073, US

Mission Statement

The New Directions for Veterans mission is to empower men and women who served in the military, and their families, to lead productive and fulfilling lives.

Description

Since 1992, New Directions for Veterans (NDVets) has provided comprehensive services to thousands of veterans in Los Angeles County. Founded by two formerly homeless Vietnam veterans and a local advocate for homeless persons, NDVets initially operated out of a five-bedroom home serving eight homeless Vietnam War veterans.

Our organization is proud to operate 13 permanent supportive housing facilities, an 121-bed transitional housing facility for male veterans, and OASIS Women Veterans Program, that maintains 18- transitional housing beds for unhoused female veterans.

Today, we serve over 750 veterans and offer a wide array of services. These include substance abuse treatment, counseling, remedial education, job training and placement, as well as parenting and money management classes. Legal and tax assistance are available, as is an active aftercare program and resources for alumni. Veterans leave NDVets with a savings account, housing, a job or other income, computer skills, renewed self-confidence and the support of mentors, peers, and their community.
