Live with Hope

“Dixon Center’s passion for making the lives of veterans and their families better results in real, life changing actions.”

Michele Gilmer, Pre-9/11 Army Veteran

Through our Live With Hope programs—Housing and Basic Needs—we collaborate with organizations and service providers, equipping them with the tools and strategies needed to provide affordable housing solutions and to prevent veterans from becoming homeless.  What’s more, our network of partners strives to address the housing crisis by creating a community of support. These include support for food security, safe housing, transportation, public health, and crisis relief.

Dixon Center envisions all-embracing change for veterans and their families—through work, wellness, and most importantly, the chance to Live with Hope.

Veterans and their families often face obstacles in achieving long-term stability and success. They seek opportunities to secure meaningful employment, safe housing, and financial well-being, enabling them to thrive in their communities. To support them in building a strong foundation for their future, we focus on ensuring access to essential resources and opportunities.

By fostering partnerships and strengthening networks, we empower organizations to provide sustainable solutions, ensuring that those touched by military service can build lives defined by stability, dignity, and hope.

Housing

We strengthen and build the capacity of organizations working to end veteran homelessness and expand access to affordable housing. By equipping service providers with the tools, resources, and strategies needed to support veterans and their families, we enhance their ability to provide secure safe, stable, and permanent housing. Our approach goes beyond providing shelter—we help organizations create pathways to homeownership and community integration, ensuring that veterans live in environments where they are valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.

We empower organizations and individuals and share resources ensuring that veterans and their families have access to essential resources such as food, water, clothing, financial assistance, housing, transportation, heating, and general supplies. By equipping service providers with the tools, resources knowledge, and networks necessary to deliver comprehensive support, we strengthen their ability to create sustainable solutions. Our approach goes beyond meeting immediate needs—we assist organizations and individuals in developing long-term strategies that promote self-sufficiency, stability, and a sense of belonging, ensuring that veterans and their families can thrive in communities that recognize and value their contributions.
