Providing Support and Finding Solutions for our Veterans and their families.
1. In April 2025, a Vietnam Veteran came to Northern Colorado Veterans Resource Center (NCVRC) for help to keep his housing. Because of serious medical challenges, he was unable to maintain his apartment to the standard required for his housing voucher inspection.
This was not the first time he turned to NCVRC. With the support of community partners, we helped him secure housing in 2021. When he needed help again, he knew where to go. Thanks to donor contributions, NCVRC was able to hire professional cleaners to prepare his apartment for inspection and prevent him from losing his home.
As we worked alongside him, it became clear that his challenges were much greater. Cognitive decline was causing him to lose items, miss the right bus stop, and go without the medical care he needed. While he was in the hospital, NCVRC worked with his care team to transition him into an assisted living facility where he could be safe and cared for.
Even after his move, NCVRC staff continue to visit him on their own time, reminding him that he is not forgotten. None of this would have been possible without donor support. Your generosity ensures that Veterans receive the care, stability, and respect they deserve.
2. In August 2022, the widow of a Veteran reached out to Northern Colorado Veterans Resource Center (NCVRC) for help after the passing of her husband. She had tried several other Veteran organizations, but because her husband had already passed, they were unable to assist. Not knowing where else to turn, she came to us.
She and her husband had met in Germany during the Allied occupation in 1945 and shared 76 years together. He had always handled the finances and home responsibilities, so after his passing, bills quickly began to pile up.
Thanks to the generosity of donors, NCVRC was able to step in. We worked with her to create a budget, assisted with applications for spousal benefits, helped cover some of the funeral expenses, and provided support for several bills. This assistance eased her stress, gave her time to grieve, and allowed her to regain stability without the fear of losing her home or vehicle.
Today, she is stable, self-sufficient, and dedicates much of her time to volunteering at local hospitals and church groups. She still calls NCVRC to check in and express her gratitude for being there when she needed it most.
This outcome was only possible because of donor support. Your contributions ensure that surviving spouses are not left behind and that they receive the tools and care they need to remain secure and healthy.
The Northern Colorado Veterans Resource Center strives to be the home and support system for Veterans and their families. We do this by empowering Veterans and their families by providing personalized support and direct navigation to critical resources. We promote long-term stability and well-being through services such as housing support, employment assistance, VA benefits navigation, mental health access, and crisis intervention. Through compassionate advocacy and strong community partnerships, we help Veterans overcome barriers and build successful, fulfilling lives.
Northern Colorado Veterans Resource Center (NCVRC) is more than just a nonprofit. It is a lifeline. Founded in 2018 by Veterans in Greeley, Colorado, NCVRC was created by those who understand the challenges of returning to civilian life. Whether a Veteran is newly transitioning or has been struggling for years, we are here to walk alongside them every step of the way.
Our mission is simple but powerful: to ensure Veterans and their families receive the resources, benefits, and education they have earned through service and sacrifice. Since opening our doors, we have helped more than 1,800 Veterans in our community find stability, hope, and connection. We serve, on average, 30 Veterans a month, and in December 2024, NCVRC served 76 Veterans in a single month. The need is growing, and so is our commitment.
At the heart of NCVRC is our Peer Support Navigation Program (PSNP). This program is built on trust, not bureaucracy. Veterans come to us facing challenges such as housing insecurity, healthcare gaps, unemployment, and barriers to education. Many arrive in crisis. Some are just beginning to look for a way forward. All are met with compassion, respect, and support.
Our Navigators, who are Veterans themselves, do more than provide referrals. They build relationships. Using trauma-informed care and a social determinants of health approach, they help clients uncover and address the root causes of the issues they face. A Veteran may come in needing emergency housing but leave with a plan for long-term stability and access to healthcare and education.
The peer support model works because it is personal. For Veterans who feel disconnected from the VA system or unsure of where to turn, speaking with someone who truly understands can make all the difference. Time and again, our clients tell us they feel heard, understood, and valued. They return not because they are required to, but because they trust us.
With your support, we can continue meeting the growing demand for services and help every Veteran who walks through our doors. No matter how complex their situation may be, we will be there. Together, we can ensure that those who served our country are never left behind.
