Hello, My name is Sharon Hill, and I am interested in learning more about how I can provide housing for veterans in my city. I have been a Therapeutic Foster Parent for the past 18 years, dedicating my life to helping individuals and families in need. I am also a published author, having co-authored my first book alongside 13 other women. Last November, our book was featured on a billboard in Times Square, New York City. Our group leader honored us with a Red Carpet event and presented each author with a certificate of achievement. Helping others reach their goals has always been a passion of mine. In addition, I have successfully operated three Airbnb properties for the past four years and currently serve as a property manager. These experiences have given me valuable skills in housing management, guest relations, and property operations. I wear many hats, but I truly enjoy what I do. I am blessed to have a strong support system and a team that assists me in serving others. I would appreciate any information you can provide regarding opportunities to house and support veterans in my community. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Sharon Hill

America's Premier Learning Community for Veteran Housing Professionals Building Communities. Restoring Lives. Creating Housing Opportunities. Welcome to the Movement Welcome to VetMentors Housing University™. Whether you are a veteran, REALTOR®, housing navigator, case manager, investor, nonprofit leader, lender, developer, property manager, government professional, or community advocate, you are now part of a national movement committed to creating lasting housing opportunities for those who served our nation. This is more than an online learning community. It is a professional university built upon education, collaboration, leadership, innovation, and proven housing strategies. Our mission is simple: Building Communities. Restoring Lives. Creating Housing Opportunities. Everything you'll learn inside this university has been developed through more than two decades of real-world experience helping veterans move from homelessness to stable housing, homeownership, and long-term success. Welcome to the movement. I Understand Because I Lived It I don't teach veteran housing because I simply studied it. I teach it because I lived it. As a former homeless Army veteran, I understand the fear, uncertainty, and barriers many veterans experience after military service. That experience became the foundation for a lifelong mission to ensure that other veterans have access to safe housing, quality education, meaningful resources, and opportunities to rebuild their lives. This work is not simply my profession. It is my purpose.
