Today is Veterans’ Day and one New Jersey–based organization is taking action to honor those who’ve served by tackling one of the most pressing challenges many veterans face: homelessness.

The Foundation for Sustainable Veteran Housing, or FSVH, is launching a new campaign called “Give Me 5.” This simple but powerful social media challenge is encouraging people to donate $5 to help end veteran homelessness, and then tag five friends to do the same. The idea is to create a ripple effect of gratitude and giving that anyone can join.

But the campaign is part of a much larger vision: to end veteran homelessness in New Jersey by building affordable housing in every county, co-located with American Legion posts, providing both a home and a built-in community for those who’ve served.

Joining us now to share more is Joe Mindak, Executive Director of the Foundation for Sustainable Veteran Housing.
