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 UCLA’s baseball stadium and a private K-12 school. At long last, housing for actual veterans is being built on the site 👍🛠

Last week, in honor of Veterans Day, @wellsfargo Fargo volunteers hosted a workshop at House of Dignity. As part of our Employment program, they answered residents' questions and taught them about personal finance, the banking system, and more. Thanks to Wells Fargo for helping our veterans ...build financial security and independence! 🤝👏💵
We'd also like to personally thank the volunteers who shared their time and expertise: Anina Tweed (for organizing this), Melissa Landay, Gail Nakama, and Stephen Kantor 😊
