We have two apartment complexes that can house fifteen veterans /tenants. These apartments are rented by veterans/families as a temporary or permanent housing option depending on the Veteran’s need. Housing has been a large focus of HWAU from the beginning and continues to be one-way HWAU helps local veterans get back on their feet. Recently, Our board of directors opened up our housing opportunity to non-veterans; only if a veteran is unavailable. This is so the non-profit can continue to generate funds from the rent. That money then is put back into the non-profit; to continue helping more veterans.
Heroes Walk Among Us (HWAU) established in March 2008 by founder and CEO, Shane D’Onofrio, a disabled veteran himself. Mr. D’Onofrio observed a significant gap in programs that assist veterans and made it HWAU’s mission to help Veterans/Heroes. HWAU's mission statement is to empower American veterans for long-term success upon leaving the military by providing them tools, guidance, and resources to overcome their personal obstacles like; homelessness, job loss, debt management, learning new skills, and health issues to successfully move forward positively.
