restore a sense of purpose, community, sustainability, and peace to veterans in need. Our goal is to provide opportunities to achieve housing stability for homeless veterans, help prevent veteran suicide, and help veterans reintegrate with society through job skills training, relationships, and community. </p><blockquote><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">As the housing crisis grows across America, veterans are at greater risk of housing instability than ever, while the physical and behavioral health services they need are hard to access. On average, 17 veterans die by their own hand every day in the United States, and 1.4 million are considered at risk of becoming homeless.</p></blockquote> </div> </div></div><div class="sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image" data-block-type="5" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1691330000458_10788"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class=" image-block-outer-wrapper layout-caption-below design-layout-inline combination-animation-none individual-animation-none individual-text-animation-none " data-test="image-block-inline-outer-wrapper" > <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " style="max-width:1200px;" > <div class="image-block-wrapper" data-animation-role="image" > <div class="sqs-image-shape-container-element has-aspect-ratio " style=" position: relative; padding-bottom:52.499996185302734%; overflow: hidden;-webkit-mask-image: -webkit-radial-gradient(white, black); " > <img data-stretch="false" data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1bd8469898fb000113b5ae/31fb3eaa-c5bd-4a6c-8e2b-37245b6793ab/event-homeless-veterans.jpg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1bd8469898fb000113b5ae/31fb3eaa-c5bd-4a6c-8e2b-37245b6793ab/event-homeless-veterans.jpg" data-image-dimensions="1200x630" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="" data-load="false" elementtiming="system-image-block" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1bd8469898fb000113b5ae/31fb3eaa-c5bd-4a6c-8e2b-37245b6793ab/event-homeless-veterans.jpg" width="1200" height="630" alt="" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, (max-width: 767px) 75vw, 75vw" style="display:block;object-fit: cover; width: 100%; height: 100%; object-position: 50% 50%" onload="this.classList.add("loaded")" srcset="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1bd8469898fb000113b5ae/31fb3eaa-c5bd-4a6c-8e2b-37245b6793ab/event-homeless-veterans.jpg?format=100w 100w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1bd8469898fb000113b5ae/31fb3eaa-c5bd-4a6c-8e2b-37245b6793ab/event-homeless-veterans.jpg?format=300w 300w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1bd8469898fb000113b5ae/31fb3eaa-c5bd-4a6c-8e2b-37245b6793ab/event-homeless-veterans.jpg?format=500w 500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1bd8469898fb000113b5ae/31fb3eaa-c5bd-4a6c-8e2b-37245b6793ab/event-homeless-veterans.jpg?format=750w 750w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1bd8469898fb000113b5ae/31fb3eaa-c5bd-4a6c-8e2b-37245b6793ab/event-homeless-veterans.jpg?format=1000w 1000w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1bd8469898fb000113b5ae/31fb3eaa-c5bd-4a6c-8e2b-37245b6793ab/event-homeless-veterans.jpg?format=1500w 1500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1bd8469898fb000113b5ae/31fb3eaa-c5bd-4a6c-8e2b-37245b6793ab/event-homeless-veterans.jpg?format=2500w 2500w" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-loader="sqs"> </div> </div> <figcaption class="image-caption-wrapper"> <div class="image-caption"><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">No American Veteran Should Be Homeless</p></div> </figcaption> </figure> </div> </div></div><div class="sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html" data-block-type="2" data-border-radii="{"topLeft":{"unit":"px","value":0.0},"topRight":{"unit":"px","value":0.0},"bottomLeft":{"unit":"px","value":0.0},"bottomRight":{"unit":"px","value":0.0}}" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1691330000458_11147"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class="sqs-html-content"> <p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Veterans Off-Grid has been building sustainable, off grid housing at our site since 2017, and have been farming in the desert in our NRCS-funded 1800 sq. ft. hoop house since 2021.
