History Has Been Made. Today marks a milestone for VetMentors Housing University. Our FIRST course is officially LIVE! College of Veteran Housing Solutions Course 1: Collaborative Housing Solutions for Homeless Veterans For more than 25 years, I’ve dedicated my career to helping veterans transition from homelessness to stable housing. Now, I’m opening the classroom and sharing that knowledge with professionals across the country. If you’ve ever said, “I want to help homeless veterans,” your education begins here. This is more than an online course—it’s the foundation of a university designed to educate REALTORS®, case managers, social workers, nonprofit leaders, housing providers, investors, veterans, and community partners who are committed to creating lasting housing solutions. Your First Assignment 1. Enroll in the classroom: https://www.skool.com/vetmentors-housing-university-9628/classroom 2. Order your required textbook before beginning the course: https://tr.ee/n51aAK 3. Watch the Welcome Lesson on YouTube and comment “Done” on both YouTube and inside the classroom: https://www.youtube.com/live/8NZOmpByvCQ?is=8b7Seem2YueJ_2j5 This is a university, and every university begins with learning. Your textbook is part of the curriculum, and active participation is expected. This first course is only the beginning. It serves as the foundation for VetMentors Housing University and the first of many courses that will prepare professionals to create real housing solutions for veterans nationwide. To our Founding Members—thank you for believing in this vision and helping build something that will impact lives for generations to come. We don’t just study housing. We create housing solutions. Welcome to VetMentors Housing University. Learn. Collaborate. House Veterans. Change Lives. See you in class! Yvette Jones-Swanson, M.A.
