Mission in Citrus Inc

The Mission in Citrus has been helping Veterans since 2008. They were rewarded by having all their Government funding slashed. After the Mission In Citrus reached it's eight year anniversary of helping homeless Veterans,by celebrating a 96% success rate. They are reaching out to get public support in order to keep putting Veterans into homes.

It has been a long and rugged road, but the homeless proved that they could help each other since 2008. They have helped pioneer many new methods that are working.The numbers in rural America continue to increase.The Mission in Citrus has helped lead the way in innovative projects that work to reduce the numbers.They have just reached a 73% employment rate , which is unheard of for shelters in the US. After deducting children in the women's house, the rate is 90%. They have reason to be proud.

The Mission in Citrus Operates a homeless Veteran's shelter in Inverness Florida where it is over capacity.The overflow have been placed in their Crystal River shelters due to the heavy increase. New promises have been made by the VA that can not be kept. They base the decrease on Veteran's homelessness on the 2015 Point In Time Count around the US. Same as our census. It will never be correct. Most of the statistics came from Veterans who walk in for services. Not from the woods or other areas.

The Mission in Citrus is working hard to get a 100 bed permanent housing facility open by Christmas of 2016. One of the biggest problems facing our aging veterans that have served this country honorably, is affordable housing. The Mission in Citrus feels that this goal can be accomplished with help from others. The facility will be located in Crystal River Florida, and will house Veterans from around Florida, and those who migrate to Florida for health reasons.

Some think that the Founder of the Mission in Citrus is going to the extreme. Maybe.But something unusual , and out of the box has to happen to wake up Washington pretty soon. Our Veterans are remaining homeless and in need. Their voice needs to be heard and acted upon. They served their country with honor. And homelessness is not an acceptable reward for any Veteran. America must make Congress do what is acceptable and good for those who protect us each day.Support Rolling Thunder on May 29th.

The project is twofold. To send a powerful message to Washington that no Veteran should be homeless, and to help as many as possible in the woods and swamps.No Veteran should be homeless or in need. Unless people are on the front lines , they do not see that the homeless Veteran problem is increasing..Not decreasing as many in Congress would like people to believe..Americans only have their freedom thanks to many who died , and men and women who put their lives on the line to protect us.
