What Freedom Feels Like In Their Own Home
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
There are 1,680 disabled Veterans in the Alamo Region living in homes that don't meet their everyday needs. These Veterans lack a daily quality of life equal to what they were used to before their disability.

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Home Adaptation Program
Adapt A Vet exists to help these disabled veterans by making adaptations, such as wheelchair accessible entryways, roll-in showers, widened halls and doorways, lowered counters, and other adaptations as necessary to accommodate the veteran’s disabilities and to improve their quality of life.
In addition to the home adaptation for the veteran, we also adapt their home to facilitate the use of a service dog

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our goal is to give all Disabled Veterans the feeling of freedom in their own homes. Many of our applicants have lived in their homes for sometimes decades, without the basic needs to accommodate their disabilities, much less to live freely and normally given the obstacles a traditional home has to offer. Through our adaptation program, we can provide simple necessities, as well as thorough renovations that allow for individual needs in their homes.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Our strategies are simple. Through fundraising, alliances, and community awareness of need, we believe we can continue grow the amount of recipients we are able to serve. We are the recipients of multiple events hosted by others, so we do not have to incur the costs of an event. We are currently participating in The Big Give San Antonio to raise additional funds, and working on new strategies for better visibility in our community.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our founding members have an extensive background in construction, which allows overall knowledge of the needs for our adaptations and bypasses the need to hire general contractor. We are also constantly forming alliances to help meet our financial needs.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have impacted multiple lives through our adaptations, general outreach, and support of those in crisis. As far as what we have not been able to accomplish, we would say raising enough funds to accommodate the amount of applicants that are currently in our system.
