We need your help to restore dignity to those that served us all.
King of the Hammers Event
According to the 2024 Homelessness Point in Time (PIT) Count
32,882
veterans were experiencing homelessness with 13,851 being unsheltered.
These counts are a snapshot conducted each January and only capture a portion of the situation. The 2024 count does display a 7.5% decrease from 2023 and a 55.6% improvement since the peak count of more than 65,000 veterans experiencing homelessness in 2010.
Our Mission
Rescue + Residence believes that veterans provide a unique, powerful resource to a community and losing one to homelessness is a tragedy.
To restore dignity to these veterans and gain back their ability to contribute to our community, Rescue + Residence runs a holistic, 3-phase program that covers self-recovery, job skills training, and ends with the veteran designing and building a custom home in the back of a retired ambulance.
If you’re already familiar with our organization, take the call to action now and see how you can help us restore dignity to the life of a veteran
Event Calendar
If you’d like to meet up with us, this calendar will show all of the public events we are planning to attend and/or host.
They range from simply attending a professional luncheon to hosting our own annual Desert jAMBOree.
Feel free to contact us by email or social media if you think your event would be a good place for us to present our mission in Southern California.
