Operation Not Forgotten is a program of Life Renewed International, a non-profit, 501(c) (3) organization, and was created to help veterans and their families achieve a better quality of life. Operation Not Forgotten works through Vet Life Community, a network of local weekly peer-based support meetings - the buddy system, veterans helping veterans, families helping families face to face - offering the tools necessary to assess needs and determine what, if any, help veterans and their families may require as they transition back into civilian life. Our Quality of Life Assessment instrument provides an accurate, graphic picture of the veteran’s readjustment back into his family and offers our trained Life Coaches a blueprint to guide veterans’ success. Veterans also work in our Step By Step Twelve Step Journal and apply new insights to the challenges they face as they rejoin society. Another important aspect of Operation Not Forgotten Vet Life Communities is the renewed sense of brotherhood/sisterhood that veterans felt when they were in the military. Vet Life Community is a place where veterans can meet other veterans and form new friendships with people who really understand; people who have “been there”. Community members often get together for Sunday afternoon ball games, camping, televised sports, or even just a cup of coffee at a local coffee shop. Families can come together for backyard cookouts, or barbecues, hiking excursions, trips to the beach, or just sharing a meal … The important thing is there is someone there for veterans to reach out to; a buddy to “have our six” – a place to find support … a Vet Life Community. Vet Life Community is designed to create a confidential, community-based meeting place. Meetings are free for all participating veterans and their loved ones.

VHVH is a partner in the Ten Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness and serves homeless veterans with mental health and/or substance abuse issues referred by the Veterans Administration (VA). In 2010, Winston-Salems Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness identified that there were more than 300 homeless veterans every year in our community. Many of the homeless have mental health and/or substance abuse issues. The NCHF in collaboration with the VA and with the help of key partners created VHVH to focus on supporting these veterans. Each homeless individual with mental health issues costs our community roughly $70,000 annually. The purpose of VHVH is to complete our obligation to homeless veterans by restoring a foundation of home, health and spirit and through the VHVH program to transition them from net consumers of services to net contributors to our community. of our graduates have obtained permanent housing.
