Empowering Military Families

Economic Empowerment & Wealth Creation Through Owner Occupied Income Housing

The Mission

The VETEM (Veterans Empowered) Charitable Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the economic empowerment of military and their families through owner occupied rental income housing. This housing initiative serves two purposes.

  1. Rental income to supplement their military income.

  2. 20% rental discounted to military renters.

This ensures housing affordability and stability in the community but most importantly wealth and economic stability.

Economic Stability Through Housing

The Vision

We envision a future where every military family has access to safe and affordable housing, achieve and maintain economic health and stability. We envision communities where our military men and women and their families have the tools, resources, and support needed for long term economic prosperity.

Long Term Economic Health

The Challenge We Address

Military families face unique economic pressures that civilian families rarely encounter. Frequent relocations, deployment-related expenses, and transition challenges create a perfect storm of financial stress.

How We Make a Difference

Home Ownership

We provide homeownership opportunities to qualified military personnel or families where they purchase the home using their VA entitlements. The VETEM Foundation then, as donation, purchase and install two or three ADU homes as rentals to rent to military renters. This ensures housing affordability and stability for the military community.

Financial Counseling

We provide expert financial guidance directly or through joint partners to help educate families budget, reduce debt, and build long-term financial stability.

 

Support

We offer support and assistance for families facing emergency housing crises
