Wounded Warrior Homes, not to be confused with Wounded Warrior Project, is a homegrown charity that provides post 9/11 PTSD and brain-injured veterans with transitional housing, services and resources and has been doing so in North San Diego County for almost 12 years. We discovered WWH some 7-8 years ago and were impressed with its mission and that it was meeting its mission via three homes, serving these veterans while assisting them with their transition back into the community. This all was begun by a local couple who wanted to make a difference, and that is what they are doing. My husband and I have been active in their efforts ever since and have become donors as well.

Wounded Warrior Homes is a homegrown success story. From two persons determined to assist post 911 brain-injured and PTSD veterans little more than 10 years ago to today, a highly successful entity that offers transitional housing and services to those same veterans. Wounded Warrior Homes recently expanded its reach to include female veterans with the same issues. In addition, WWH stocks a food closet for any military member/family in need. WWH receives no government funding. Funds are raised locally and regionally, including via it's very popular annual golf tournament and various regional fundraising events. My husband and I learned about Wounded Warrior Homes some eight years ago. And since then, it has become the beneficiary of our classic/muscle car club's annual car show—and we personally continue to support it through our own donations of funds and food stuffs, also volunteering at the WWH golf tournament each year. Founders/Directors Mia and Steve Roseberry are an amazing can-do couple!

They are a pleasure to work with and I encourage others to help this terrific organization and our soldiers.

We donated a cottage to Wounded Warrior Homes (WWH) that was installed as an ADU at one of the residences WWH operates to provide transitional housing for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury. Mia and Steve Roseberry, the Founders of Wounded Warrior Homes, are great people who are dedicated to our veterans. WWH does great work for our veterans. We are proud to partner Mia and her fabulous team to serve our deserving veterans.

Wounded Warrior Homes has been here for me for quite a while now. I was discharged from the Marine Corps in 2015. Shortly after I was arrested for a couple assault charges. I was accepted to the Veterans Treatment Court to help clear my record. After finishing VTC I didn’t have a place to go. WWH opened their doors to me and haven’t stopped supporting me yet. After my time as a squad member of WWH I was able to move into my own place. Today I am back, this time as a tenant. They allowed me to rent their ADU in order to prepare for purchasing my own home.
I can’t thank WWH and their team enough for what they’ve done for me.

The separation from my wife left me homeless and financially unstable with my PTSD dominating every aspect of my life. After I graduated from Aspire Center for 9 months of intense inpatient therapy, Wounded Warrior Homes (WWH) gave me a base from which to get back on track and reintegrate with society; doing so with dignity and respect. Were it not for WWH, I do not know where I would be.

My experience with the Wounded Warrior Homes Inc organization has been a very positive one. The staff and volunteers are very dedicated to their cause of helping the veteran community in many ways to include their food bank, homes, counseling and more. I have helped in donations, volunteering and have enjoyed the experience. I've been impressed with their mindfulness to their cause and efficiently disbursing funds where most needed. They have experienced staff to run the operations, fund raise and further their goals. They keep their overhead to a minimum and seem to have a well run organization, honored by the community for what they do.

The people and place are amazing. They are willing to listen to any concerns you might have and will help you in anyway they can. That's the kind of support our veteran community deserves. I can recall many times when I had nobody to help me out and felt hopeless so I stopped at Wounded Warrior Homes and realized how wonderful it is to know I can count on them. No judgments just simply willing to open their doors and share their knowledge and resources. I have been thinking of volunteering there since they also participate in serving veteran families especially during holidays. Life has many ups and downs but you should never lose hope that good things will come.

The folks that work at Wounded Warrior Homes all have a big heart for veterans. Whether it's veterans in their core program, veterans who stop by once a month to pick up dog food for their service dog or to use the food pantry or veterans in the community who need help and are reaching out. Wounded Warrior Homes is always there to help. I have been associated with this organization as a volunteer and a staffer for 5 years. I have seen Wounded Warrior Homes staffers go above and beyond to help a veteran in trouble. It's a small organization with a mighty reach.

As someone who has served as both a volunteer and a staffer to Wounded Warrior Homes, I can say this is an organization that definitely cares. Cares about the veterans and their challenges, cares about doing the 'right thing', cares about going the extra mile for the veterans they serve. Recently, with the Covid pandemic, they have really ramped up their pantry activities, all on a shoe string budget. Hundreds of food insecure veterans have been served, giving them one less worry. Five stars for Wounded Warrior Homes!

As a member of the board of directors of Wounded Warrior Homes, I have seen firsthand the positive impacts our organization has made to the veteran community of San Diego County.

Hearing from veterans who found the transition back to civilian life difficult and learning they were helped along the way by the organization is a testament to the dedication of the board and those who support the organization. Whether through transitional housing, referral assistance or something as simple as goods from pantry, these positive impacts send a message to our veterans that they are important and welcomed as valued members of our community.

Among the many non-profits that serve injured veterans, Wounded Warrior Homes, located in north San Diego County, is among the very few that offer a comprehensive and individualized program with room and board for up to two years for those post-911 vets that are homeless due to the effects of the "invisible injuries" of PTSD and/or TBI. Established almost 10 years ago by Mia and Steve Roseberry, WWHs has successfully transitioned many dozens of vets into successful civilian lives while also serving active and veteran families from WWH's food pantry. And this has been accomplished with a small but highly dedicated and efficient staff, keeping costs as low as possible due to the high cost of housing in San Diego County. Our funding depends heavily on donations, of course, but it should be noted that every dollar raised stays here in San Diego County. For these reasons and more, I am proud to be associated as a volunteer and Board member of Wounded Warrior Homes since 2014. Our injured veterans deserve nothing less.

In 1966, my first year of college, a guy in my design class had recently returned from Viet Nam. He was older than almost everyone in the class, maybe mid-20's. In our first semester it became clear that he was by far the best designer in our freshman class. But he was also extremely quiet. Being a military brat, I was interested in his military experience, which he told me in general terms was combat related. As the semester progressed he excelled but always kept us fellow design students at arm's length, never attending any parties, football games or joining in for pizza. A loner. When the second semester began and we returned from Xmas break, he was not in attendance. We never heard from him again. Years later I came to realize he was probably a victim of PTSD. And as I reflected back, I often wondered if he received assistance to overcome his issues and enjoy life as the talented designer that I remember him to be. Back then, of course, I doubt assistance was available. Today, thankfully that has changed. With Wounded Warrior Homes, I have found a highly effective program including housing for just that sort of veteran right here in North County. It has been my honor to assist them since 2014.

I came to Wounded Warrior Homes needing a place to stay as I was transitioning back into my own independent living. The team did a thorough intake to assess my situation and was able to help me by ensuring I adjust into their home. They took feedback regarding my dietary needs and welcomed me into their pantry that is stocked with a variety of food for me to prepare on my own. I attended a financial mentoring class with my peers and got immediate feedback on some questions I had about building credit. I had a chance to speak with the Co-founder and she was very receptive to feedback about the program and ways that she could assist me personally. Upon completion of the program I was gifted some kitchen and home necessities to help me move into my own place. The staff were always welcoming and willing to hear me out with genuine care. I recommend this organization to my fellow veterans who are in need of a smooth transition.

As I transitioned from the military, I didn’t know where to make my first step so I lived with family for a bit until they had to go. I was stuck in a gray area in my life where I didn’t know how to make my move. Wounded warrior Homes got me in their program and helped me transition from all my issues. I just knew that once I am stable I had to move away after almost 2 years of being in the program. They’ve helped me to become the person I am today. My biggest problem I thought nothing was wrong. They gave me support to put my goals to reality. I got to see a different light if I don’t chase my goal or dreams, I am doing what I hate and I am staying in the same place, no progression. Thank you wounded warrior homes for my progression through my hard times. I can’t repay anything for what the nonprofit has done for me and other veterans, but I will appreciate everything, because it’s a choice to help those having a hard time to stand. Thank you for helping me get on my feet, Wounded Warrior Homes Inc!!!!

WWH leadership and staff take such extraordinary steps to ensure each veteran served receives the right tools at the right time to stabilize, engage, and thrive. To optimally serve veterans, a commitment to performance excellence must be present – at Wounded Warrior Homes this focus on excellence is evident in every action. From adherence to best practices in veteran service delivery to WWH’s complete focus on ensuring successful veteran outcomes Wounded Warrior Homes remains a stellar example of how nonprofits can change the world. We need Wounded Warrior Homes to remain a strong resource in the community – the lives of combat veterans literally depend upon this work.

My commitment to WWH is directly related to their commitment to our veterans.
I cannot speak highly enough of Wounded Warrior Homes’ leadership, staff, volunteers, and outcomes. Budget discipline, transparency, planned growth, and impact tracking ensures Wounded Warrior Homes meets the needs of our modern combat veterans suffering from unmanaged, and often undiagnosed TBI and PTSD.

I have been engaged with Wounded Warrior Homes since 2016 as a proposal writer, donor, and community advocate. My father was a career officer in the United States Navy predisposing me to support stellar veteran organizations. I am proud to be associated with this organization.

My name is Angel C. Alvarez I’m a U.S. Marine Corps disabled combat veteran. I served 8 years enlisted and returned back home with invisible wounds from my combat action in theater. I found out about wounded warrior homes from a good friend, fellow wounded warrior veteran, U.S. Navy Corpsman(Ret), Ben Kilhefner. We we’re both recipients of trained service dogs for our disability needs. Because of my ptsd, panic & anxiety attacks, etc... employment has been challenging which in turn is strainIng financially. I’m on a limited income of disability compensation pension, so I have to really be frugal with everything. As I’ve aforementioned, I have a service dog, He’s a Belgian Malinois named Jax. My friend Ben told me about how he was a recipient alumni of wounded warrior homes and a program they have called AniMeals, in which dog food is donated for wounded warrior veterans who are struggling financially and their service dogs. The program has been a godsend for me and my dog. From the very start Stacey Pauley and the whole staff have been nothing but generous, caring and helpful. Not only have they helped with dog food donations but I also have used the excellent food pantry for us struggling veterans in the program. The use of their pantry has helped fill my fridge and kitchen during these trying and difficult times when I can’t. I’m grateful and thankful for what wounded warrior does selflessly for me and other veterans in the community, they are truly a blessing!

Wounded Warrior Homes (WWH) is doing it right and one of the best programs I know of. They offer housing for up to two years to veterans who are recovering from TBIs and/or PTSD, and homeless or at risk of being homeless. A two year program is almost unheard of anymore. The trend now because of funding dollars is “housing first” programs that offer housing and services for an average of 90 days. As a social worker who has worked with traumatized and homeless veterans, I know it can take a lot longer to begin to heal, stabilize and make/execute plans to move forward in their lives.

I chose to support this program and join the board because of their model and also because of the integrity of the program, the compassionate care offered by the staff, and their passion for and dedication to our veterans.

Within San Diego County, Wounded Warrior Homes is among the top-rated service providers for veterans with PTSD and TBI. The leadership has been highly awarded for vision and entrepreneurial tactics to address the often difficult transition from service life to civilian life. They have provided more than 200 months of housing to single male veterans who struggle with PTSD and TBI. Helping them get jobs, occupational training or getting a college degree are among their hands-on support.

Wounded Warrior Homes supports US military veterans challenged with PTSD and provides housing to homeless veterans. As an organization, their integrity and passion are unmatched. I’ve always been skeptical donating to charities with the concern that my time and/or money would not reach the people who need it. With Wounded Warrior Homes, I have seen firsthand how the veterans are impacted by the services and programs available. The individuals that make up the team of staff and volunteers at WWH are some of the most inspiring and generous people I've ever met. There are very few organizations I trust as much as WWH, and their impact on veterans and their families both locally and nationally is incredible.

I love the work of this organization. They provide a safe environment for our wounded veterans needing some help to heal and live independently a chance to do so. The men have up to 24 months to execute on their personal plans for education, therapy, etc. as they move forward in life following injury while in service to our country. The leaders have personal experience with the military, many having served themselves, which makes the program more relevant and useful. They work hard and honorably, and receive no government funding for their efforts.

To serve your country, return to the United States and through unfortunate circumstances find yourself without a home to me is more than tragic. Wounded Warrior Homes is five-star, knocking it out of the park assisting veterans with housing needs. Being a Viet Nam Vet myself motivates me to help non-profits like Wounded Warrior Homes in San Marcos. For the past four years we have helped Wounded Warrior Homes keep down their administrative cost by donating a copier for their office use.

I first met Mia Roseberry in 2010 when she was giving a speech about Wounded Warrior Homes and they were just starting out. Fast forward to 2018 and Wounded Warrior Homes is a thriving, growing organization providing a greatly needed service to our post-9/11 veterans with Traumatic Brain Injury and Post Traumatic Stress. Wounded Warrior Homes has a successful program of Transitional Housing and Reintegrative services that helps these veterans move from being a Warrior to Civilian.

Wounded Warrior Homes has helped me in ways I cannot put into words. I have struggled so much after coming back from Afghanistan and have been homeless for the majority of the time. Now I have a home and a great group of people who support me and pick me up and keep me going forward when things get tough. Thank you so much for all you do for us!

My wife and I are strong supporters of the military and wanted to support a local cause in the San Diego area. Our good friend Bob Gough introduced us to Wounded Warriors Homes a few years ago. Bob is part of a passionate group of volunteers that work to provide our veterans with a temporary home and the help they need to transition from the battle field back to civilian life. This is a wonderful cause and I know first hand the work they do saves lives.

Wounded Warrior Homes has a passion for providing a stable, comfortable and modern living environment to assist the most vulnerable wounded warriors as they transition into the civilian world. I attended the ribbon-cutting celebration for their latest state-of-the-art property and had the opportunity to meet these brave men and see how they were positively affected by the generosity of this non-profit organization. They not only provide a home but they assist with connecting these warriors with support systems that enable them to become independent, productive and positive neighbors. There is so much more that needs to be done for these individuals and Wounded Warrior Homes is committed to continue their mission as I am committed to continue supporting them.

My late husband died a Marine. He was a Sergeant in The USMC, he proudly served two tours in Vietnam, he would proudly serve again just to spare someone's father, brother, sister or mother the mental anguish and the cancers that continue to plague our soldiers. I heard of Wounded Warrior Homes and decided to reach out to them for I had lost my badly built wood and stucco wall due to the heavy rain and my insurance company denied my claim as it was deemed water damaged, with a limited income I felt hopeless and helpless.
Wounded Warrior Homes and my local Home Depot came to my rescue. The Team Depot volunteers built me a new stronger fence and restored my peace of mind and sense of security. I am eternally grateful that Wounded Warrior Homes came to my rescue.

I have been working with Wounded Warrior Homes for 2 years. I am the secretary of the board. The dedication of Mia,CEO and Steve, cofounder and board member and their staff are exemplary as is the that of the board members. Bob Gough, architect and board member, in particular spent hundreds and hundreds of hours working on the York house. Mia and Steve attend every function and Mia will spend hours working with any veteran who walks up to the Kiosk with a problem. The dedication of all these people is what inspires me to keep doing what I can to contribute. Lastly the experienced leadership of Jane Howell, the board president, has allowed us to move to a higher level of competence as a nonprofit for veterans.

Mia Roseberry and the staff at Wounded Warrior Homes are some of the most helpful and kindhearted people I've met who have the desire to help underserved veterans. Mia and her husband Steve actually started Wounded Warrior Homes when they first allowed homeless veterans to sleep in their own house! If you actually want to help a veteran, I'd consider giving to this organization. They do all they can to help, they're near the phone almost 24/7 and they point veterans in the right direction to get the resources they need on top of actually building homes for them. These are kindhearted people who have even helped me personally. I can't say thank you enough.

In 2009, I heard Mia Roseberry give a talk about a non-profit she and her husband were starting to help post 9/11 veterans with traumatic brain injury and/or PTSD. She and the cause immediately spoke to my heart--my husband was a Vietnam Veteran living every day with the trauma of war. Since then, through hard work, persistence and tremendous support from a wide variety of people and organizations, Wounded Warrior Homes has grown from an idea to a strong organization serving veterans not only in the San Diego area but across the country. I am proud of the work they do, and grateful to be a part of.

I was a Marine for 20 years, retired in 1996 but at that time did not have an opportunity to get involved in my community. I recently moved to Bonsall, CA. and called this my last move. That is when I started looking at "how I can give back to the community and my fellow veterans." I researched multiple nonprofits before I came across Wounded Warrior Homes (WWH) and then asked them "how can I help." The group of people at WWH is truly amazing and they provide a valuable service to our veterans. Their goal is to keep costs down which provides more money to our veterans that need somewhere to live while they transition out of the service. I believe in this organization so much that I also donate money, time and anything else that they need.

The stars state the true fact of this program, as have most who have served, this program goes above and beyond what is expected of them. It creates a platform from which wounded military veterans and transitioning service members are able to calm the storm and give focus on what needs to be done to succeed. The Wounded Warrior Homes reach is far and wide and has networking branches which extend further than any other program I have encountered, programs that are not even heard of (At least ones that I had no idea of) are at their fingertips and this is the type of outreach veterans need to become healthy, or more successful on their path through this world.

During my senior year in college, I was required to find a location to do an internship for. At that point I had yet to decide on the population I wanted to serve once I completed my education and knew I needed to start making this decision soon. I contacted Wounded Warrior Homes in Vista and met with them shortly thereafter. After only 30 minutes, the dedication of the staff (Mia and Gene), as well as the truly unique approach to transitional housing for our country's valuable veterans was inspiring. They let me complete my internship with them and I have continued volunteering long after my required obligation was complete. I truly believe this program design is the most effective way to support these veterans. Anyone who spends just a few minutes talking with the staff and other volunteers will see the dedication and compassion they have for unfortunately growing population. My time with Wounded Warrior Homes has helped give me direction and a population to serve in my professional life moving forward.

I am very grateful for where I am and what Wounded Warrior Homes has done for me. I was a veteran of 18 years who had two combat tours and numerous Humanitarian deployments as a Navy Corpsman. Unfortunately, after an injury and years of taking opiates, coupled with Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) symptoms ultimately led to my early departure from what I loved to do, which was saving lives. With a quick departure from the military I was left jobless, homeless and without a car. I was constantly moving around living on friends’ couches. After having a series of blackouts, no one was willing to take a risk with me and ended up in the hospital with nowhere to go. I was fortunate enough that I was able to get temporary shelter at a local crisis house for two weeks. While there, I was able to work with my case manager who referred me to Wounded Warrior Homes. With everything seemingly to be falling apart around me and the situation didn't leave me with any options or reasons to “carry on”, it was a positive in a seemingly negative world. Since living here a lot of the stress has been taken out of my life and that allows me to gather my thoughts and priorities and focus on myself and what needs to be done without the stressors of everyday life. I honestly can’t say where I would be if it weren't for Wounded Warrior Homes, but I don’t know that I am in a better place now and grateful for everything they've done and are doing for me.

I have seen Wounded Warrior Homes thrive and grow through the pure dedication and hard work of the founders and a small group of volunteers. Just in the past year I could personally see their first home for transitioning wounded warrior veterans come to fruition and can see and regularly be involved with its' successes.
One of the things that makes me stay involved with Wounded Warrior Homes is that it is a local non-profit where I can literally "see" that it is working and that donations are used properly in helping these wounded veterans heal.

I am Co Founder of Wounded Warrior Homes. The personal eye opener for Me was having 2 service members end up in our house after serving in Iraq post 911. Both somehow ended up on the same area on the living room floor. When asked why they told me they felt safe there and then proceeded to tell Me in great detail everything they had done while fighting for our freedom. I asked the first one to stop as I have never served and had a hard time taking in the story I just told. At that moment I really understood the sacrifices that our service members and there families make. The challenges that I saw over the next couple of years was tough to watch. The next thing I know is Wounded Warrior Homes is born. We currently have a full house and are looking to open another house. Getting our warriors before they end up living on the streets is our goal. Steve Roseberry

I am a retired social worker, new to the San Diego area, who was looking to do some volunteer work. I heard about Wounded Warrior Homes from my cousin, a retired U.S Marine who had taken a business class with the Executive Director, Mia Roseberry. I was really excited when I met with Mia because I had the type of work experience that I felt would be beneficial to their program. I had prior experience as a Regional Administrator and Program Director of several transitional residential programs. I have been working with Wounded Warrior Homes for over two years and seen it grow from a start-up to a fully functional program serving the needs of veterans. None of this would have been possible were it not for the tireless work of Steve and Mia Roseberry and their volunteers. The generosity and support of businesses and community members has been outstanding and allowed us to open the first home Sept. 14, 2012. Our challenge now is to increase our capacity as we have had to turn away other needy veterans.

I have been on the board for Wounded Warrior homes virtually since we were approved as a 501 c 3. The passion that Mia & Steve Roseberry bring is the kind that inspires you to want to do more. It is a small organization and the funds are 100% to benefit the cause. This is nice as sometimes larger organizations have pulled away from their cause. I believe we are working to help give service members that are struggling from their injuries and leaving the military some place to go to get them on their feet. This is a serious need and one that isn't being addressed enough.

I have a son who is in the military and many family members who have served our country so WWH has a major sweet spot for me. I get a lump in my throat when I think of the service members of our military who voluntarily dedicate their life, and potentially put themselves in danger, to protect our freedoms. To come back from serving with PTSD or BTI is an extremely difficult thing, something most of us cannot truly understand. So, to be on the board and to volunteer for WWH is an honor.

WWH is run by two of the most genuine and giving people I have ever come across - Mia and Stevce Roseberry. Their dedication and care is unlike anything I have ever seen and they make daily sacrifices for WWH. On a business level, they run WWH with the highest level of integrity and attention to every penny. This is NOT an organization with big budgets and big salaries. It is an organization that has one clear objective - to give as much to the service members as possible so they can have a better transition into civiian life. I am so proud to be on the board of WWH, and serving with others who donate their time and money to help out this wonderful organization.

I can actually say that THIS ORGANIZATION is run by GENUINE PEOPLE! Mia and Steve are two very hard working people and are devoted to their cause. They show the best in what people can be and do for others. The office staff (1) and volunteers' contribution exemplify how the unity of purpose works for the betterment of the human spirit.
I praise all who make this work, for it is a LOT of work.

Wounded Warrior Homes steps in to help our vets in the critical transition from military service to the civilian world. This can be a difficult process made even more difficult if traumatic brain injury or other factors are in play. WWH is a great, young charity that has already made a huge difference in the lives of the vets it has served.

I am an emergency physician who has been fortunate enough to work within the military medicine system for the past 7 years. On a daily basis I encounter wounded warriors who are frightened and confused on where the next steps of their journey may take them. Where can they go? They want to stay close to their military buddies who understand where they have been. They want to figure out how to be productive, useful, and use their skills and become further educated. They want to be close to the medical care that they may continue to need. They need to relearn the basic art of living outside the chain of command. Wounded Warrior Homes, Inc fills this need. Being located in southern California, we are fortunate enough to have many community and state colleges within a few miles of "our home", we have financial advisors who help set savings goals and allow these men to get back on their feet, and we are very close to numerous Veteran's Hospitals and clinics and Naval Medical Centers providing mental health and physical healthcare access.
Our overhead costs have been kept exceptionally low, our board is very active in our volunteer pool, and we can show the community that our monies are spent in a thoughtful and purposeful way. Our graduates of the program attest that sometimes just having a safe place to fall and time to adjust is just what they need. Not a hand out, just a helpful hand up.

I joined Wounded Warrior Homes (WWH) Board in April 2013. I choose WWH because I wanted to be of service to our returning wounded veterans in need and I believe that the team of WWH is doing a good & noble work by providing the needed veterans a place to live.

I came to Wounded Warrior Homes (WWH) in March 2012 because I am a veteran and I wanted to make a difference in the lives of other veterans. I was extremely pleased to find that WWH is an all-volunteer organization. This NOT (unlike quite a few other organizations) a money-making operation. All of the principles that I have met, co-founders, Executive Director and board members, are sincere, deeply committed individuals who want to help the brave men and women injured in Iraq and Afghanistan overcome their injuries and transition from active-duty military service to independent living as a veteran of foreign wars.
