WHOW ARE WE?

The Veterans Standdown and Homeless Resource Event (HRE) is a one-day event, addressing two different underserved and at-risk populations. It is in recognition of veterans, and support of the homeless and those at risk Standdown and HRE is a community-based intervention event designed to help the San Bernardino County veterans and the homeless with purposeful outreach and direct help by bringing the solutions to the community directly. Reaching New Heights believes in a huge opportunity to help local homeless and veterans with a structured outreach as that is our core strength. Standdown and HRE will ultimately provide resources that promote their transition to stable housing and care.

OUR GOAL

Increase the overall awareness and utilization of resources for veterans, homeless, and at-risk populations by providing direct support and services. Creating awareness for these underserved populations of their benefits, eligibility to funds and services that will directly impact and enhance the community. By reaching out to these underserved populations and getting them processed we can get them a hand up and not a handout. Once a veteran, homeless, or anyone who is at risk the access to the proper resources and the desire to want to do better they can become a productive member of society. Additionally, the program enables a veteran, homeless, and those at-risk to find housing and employment. Many of these additional services will be provided by partners of Reaching New Heights Foundation.
