NVHS was formed by veterans to locate and assist the more than 4,500 homeless veterans living in the parks, forests, and streets of Central Florida. 
We are 100% volunteer managed and operated; there are zero paid employees at NVHS.
Our mission is clearly defined: "To Eliminate Homelessness Among Veterans in Central Florida"... and we work very hard at this.
We offer a very unique service to the community. Our Search & Rescue teams physically go out into the field searching for the veterans, providing supplies when we find them, and work with other organizations to get them out of the woods and back into society again.
Please browse our site and see how you can help us continue our mission, see upcoming events , volunteer to help our vets, or see who is helping us now.
