Warrior House Transitional Housing Program is an intense program designed to help veterans (Warriors) of the US Armed Services that have been or are in peril of being homeless (near homeless) due to struggling with alcohol, drug abuse or any other life-controlling problems. We are a veteran-run holistic program designed to help our warriors realize that they can achieve spiritual and life changing success if they are properly disciplined.

Houses for Warriors was founded by Andrew Canales, a Decorated Iraq War Veteran who was diagnosed with PTSD after his first deployment in 2008. Andrew struggled with PTSD for seven years before an accident that broke his legs and nearly took his life– combined with struggling with homelessness himself– led him on a path of healing and ambition. He has been a personal advocate for veteran’s benefits and has assisted many with obtaining benefits for school, home loans, and disability claims. As an Ambassador for K9’s for Warriors since 2018, a nonprofit that provides service dogs to disabled veterans, he continues to give back to the Veteran Community any way he can.

With Houses for Warriors, Andrew coordinates with property owners, donors, community leaders, and business owners across the country to create strategic partnerships and opportunities that serve our veterans and those involved. His main goal is to improve the quality of life for every veteran who is struggling.

Houses for Warriors is currently in Stage 1 of fundraising for it’s flagship project in the Denver, Colorado area – The Warrior House Program designed to provide stable housing for transitioning homeless and at-risk veterans. Not only will the Warrior House give veterans the opportunity to live with dignity and independence, the house will be a hub for veteran resources – providing everything from job training to help accessing VA benefits to those who live there.

We have announced our Veterans Day 2020 Warrior Film Festival and Student Filmmaker's Contest.

We will be launching our 2020 Jeep Gladiator (Warrior Edition) Giveaway to raise awareness surrounding veteran homelessness and increase our donor community to launch our transitional housing program.

Phase 2 will be securing a second Warrior House for our homeless female Warriors in the Denver-County Area.
