DONATESince our founding, we’ve expanded from serving veterans to conducting street outreach to helping families stay housed.
At Operation Dignity, we don’t leave our veterans on the battlefield. We help them get to a stable, permanent home.
Our outreach team provides people in encampments with basic needs and connects them to housing services.
We partner with affordable housing developers to help formerly homeless adults and children keep their housing and thrive.

Although LA has the largest number of homeless veterans in the US, veterans have struggled to find housing and shelter to meet their needs. A project is finally coming to fruition at a site in Brentwood that the VA has owned since 1887. Although gifted as a home for Civil War Veterans, the property... has been used for a variety of completely unrelated purposes, including UCLAโs baseball stadium and a private K-12 school. At long last, housing for actual veterans is being built on the site ๐๐
