Warrior Homes of Collier

What Warrior Homes of Collier does

Warrior Homes of Collier is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2010 and headquartered in Naples, Florida, focused on addressing veteran homelessness in Collier County. The organization delivers transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, mental health services, and educational support to homeless and at-risk veterans. Its core asset base is a residential portfolio of six properties totaling 39 beds, including the Alpha House short-term transitional program and five longer-term residences (Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, and Foxtrot). Delta House is the largest facility, with 10 units serving 20 veterans. The organization has committed to achieving Functional Zero veteran homelessness in Collier County and reports contributing to a 12%+ reduction in homeless veterans since 2019.

The operating model is an ecosystem of partnerships with 18 partner organizations, including the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Veterans Treatment Court, and other community service providers that supply wraparound clinical, educational, and benefits-navigation support. Alpha House reports an 80%+ program success rate and has housed 30+ veterans since 2020; 46 wraparound services were delivered in 2025 and the organization reports reaching 88% of veterans helped per week on average.

The business model is donation-driven rather than fee-based. Revenue is generated through foundation grants, individual donations, fundraising events (gala, golf tournament), corporate sponsorships, a commemorative brick garden program, and (as of late 2025) a permanent endowment. The organization claims 95 cents of every dollar goes directly to veteran services. Recent major capital events include a $500,000 anonymous donor pledge (August 2024), the opening of Echo and Foxtrot Houses under government leases (late 2024 / early 2025), the addition of a Director of Operations in July 2025, and the December 2025 acquisition of the Zulu Project alongside the creation of an endowment fund and a $300,000 Schoen Foundation grant.
