Fort Kennedy is a nonprofit that helps provide homeless/low-income veterans and their families with housing, food, clothing, and other resources in Oregon and Washington.

HELPING ALL VETERANS EXPERIENCE NORMALCY (H.A.V.E.N.)
OUR MISSION

Our direction is to enable all veterans to move forward after military service. We strive to provide transitional housing and shelter for homeless service men and women. To ensure all veterans receive support through employment, family counseling, and help with well-deserved benefits. We work with all veteran agencies in the community, and we provide a much-needed hand-up, not a handout, for our homeless veterans.
