During the HUD Point-In-Time (PIT) Count in January 2022, there were 33,129 Veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces identified as homeless. In Missouri, there were 499 Veterans experiencing homelessness identified. 138 of those homeless Veterans identified were in either the city of St. Louis or St. Louis County. The PIT Count is held annually and utilized by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to assess how HUD-funded programs are impacting homelessness nationwide. However, These numbers are considered to be underestimated because the Homeless Count is conducted on a given date and time.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Missouri Veterans Endeavor's goal is to end Veteran homelessness in the greater St. Louis area.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
MOVE-STL is a long-term supportive housing program for veterans of the United States Military. We
provide safe, affordable housing and clinical case management to veterans experiencing financial crises and housing instability in the St. Louis metropolitan area. MOVE-STL is committed to supporting veterans
through difficult transitions in civilian life. Our program is in the St. Louis County municipality of St. John,
Missouri. Program housing consists of 21 2-bedroom apartments. Our program can serve up to 42
individual veterans or a composition of a veteran head-of-household with up to two family members. Best
practice mental health standards guide the initial and ongoing assessment of each veteran’s psychological,
medical, and social history. Individualized Action Plans (IAPs) are developed with personalized, measurable
goals to assist with housing and financial stabilization. Increasing access to medical and mental health care
is a priority when goal setting with participants. MOVE-STL clinical staff work closely with veterans and their
medical/mental healthcare team to increase understanding of diagnosis and treatment compliance. Social
Work case management aims to positively impact indicators of overall quality-of-life and community
integration after homelessness for the veterans who enter our program. The assigned Social Worker meets
with veteran clients at least bi-weekly to assess progress toward individual goals. We focus on increasing veteran access to mental health care in the community, the internal development of increased recognition of mental health needs, and the development of coping strategies to positively impact self-confidence. MOVE-STL strives to assist veterans in resolving issues impacting their housing stability with long-term solutions. Those solutions allow individual veterans to successfully transition into civilian life and contribute positively to the St. Louis metropolitan area. MOVE-STL aims to empower veterans to understand their individual mental health needs and develop skills to minimize the impact of mental health on their housing stability. Veterans need safe and affordable housing to begin working on the issues that previously brought them into experiencing homelessness, and the MOVE-STL program provides just that.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
