U.S.VETS is on a mission to end veteran homelessness in the United States. “The streets” are simply no place for veterans; no place for the many men and women who volunteered, giving of themselves and their youth, to protect our great freedoms. We believe all veterans deserve every opportunity to live with dignity and independence. It is our duty at U.S.VETS to deliver on our promise to always serve those who’ve served.

Career development and ensuring veterans are connected to gainful employment is integral to our work. U.S.VETS Houston had the pleasure of partnering with #HEB and their Veterans PRG to host their inaugural "HEB Career and Opportunity Symposium." Veterans had the opportunity to meet with hiring managers, learn more about HEB's military/veterans programs and initiatives, and available opportunities within HEB. HEB graciously provided lunch to our community and concluded the event with a service project of assembling hygiene kits to be distributed to our veterans and service center. Partnerships and community are vital to our mission - thank you, HEB, for joining us to make a difference in the lives of those who have served. ##HONORUSVETS #servingthosewhoserved #thankful #partnerships

Thank you Dr. Paige Johnson for your service and for being the best part of U.S.VETS!
It wasn’t the financial security Paige Johnson, a chiropractor and educator, hoped for after she was laid off from a steady job and decided to move from Florida to Texas. Savings the Army veteran set aside to relocate with her three school-age children drained quickly at an extended stay hotel as job prospects fell through. Her mental health was fragile, with symptoms from post-traumatic stress disorder she suffered for years following military sexual trauma. With two weeks’ of savings left to keep her children housed, she refined her job search to fast food restaurants, Walmart and dollar stores, searching for an opportunity to support her family. “I had packed my kids up. I thought it would be OK, and then I was struggling. I said, ‘Let me just get something to take care of my family.’ But no one was hiring.” At a critical point, VA contacts led her to U.S.VETS Houston and the tenacity of Sharhonda Williams, workforce development coordinator. First, it was a part-time job at UPS. “Sharhonda made sure I had the warehouse clothes, the shoes I need, everything,” Johnson says. Soon, an offer came to teach biomedical sciences at Texas Southern University—one of the nation’s largest historically black colleges and universities. She found an apartment, and U.S.VETS helped with first month’s rent, utilities, a furniture voucher and bunkbeds for her children. “Sharhonda called me and said, ‘Paige, you need new clothes. Loafers, dress shirts, slacks for work.’ She was even like, ‘Do you need office supplies?’ She checked on me and made sure everything was going smoothly.” Johnson was recently promoted to teach graduate students in pharmacy and health sciences. “You don’t realize that some people just need that one thing, that one break to start working. I have dropped this pessimistic attitude I used to have. Sharhonda would say, ‘We’re working on it. We’re getting things done. Don’t give up.’ Even when I couldn’t convince myself, she was so convincing that things were going to be OK.” #Servingthosewhoserved #HonorUSVETS #BlackHistoryMonth
