National Partners

Exchange partnered with Veterans Matter in 2015. Veterans Matter is solely dedicated to providing deposits/first month rent for ready, waiting veterans who can use can use HUD-VASH vouchers to cross the threshold into safe, permanent housing. Veterans Matter has a 100% success rate in getting veterans housed in a government program that has a 91% success rate in keeping veterans housed. At the time the partnership was forged, 50,000 veterans (and families) were reported homeless. Exchange Clubs across the country are encouraged to host events, such as walks and rallies, to help raise funds for veterans waiting to be housed. These events, appropriately named “11/11@7”, will be held on Veterans Day at 7 p.m., eastern.
