California Contractor Focused on Affordable Veteran Housing Signs with JOTO PR Disruptors
Vendaval Corp., a differentiator in the housing world, that seeks to create affordable communities to help alleviate the problem of veteran homelessness has signed with JoTo PR Disruptors(TM). The goal is to create self-sustaining, mixed-use developments across California designed to benefit veterans and independent-living seniors.
TAMPA BAY, Fla., Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Homelessness among our nation's veterans has reached crisis level with more than 1.4 million service men and women exposed to chronic homelessness—it is estimated that on any night more than 40,000 American military veterans are forced to live on the streets.(1) Helping address the problem of homeless veterans is the goal of California-based Vendaval Corp. Solving this urgent problem by disrupting the status quo in housing construction makes Vendaval an ideal fit for JOTO PR Disruptors. "Vendaval is showing the private sector how to step up and take action, when others haven't been able to nimbly adapt to changing needs," said Karla Jo Helms, Chief Evangelist and Anti-PR(TM) Strategist at JoTo PR(TM).
Founder and Chairman of Vendaval, Nick Saifan, is a 24-year-Navy/Army veteran who, after retiring from the Army, began a second career as a contractor with the goal of building affordable housing for veterans. His Moreno Valley Project located in Riverside County, California, will include residential units and 30,000-square-feet of retail facilities, offering veterans and independent-living seniors jobs, homes and more, all in one location. The project will also be self-sustaining in that it will include retail space where residents can open stores and funnel the shops' profits back into the project. In addition to providing affordable housing options in the community, the building of the development will also provide hundreds of construction, retail, and restaurant jobs.
Rental assistance will be provided by the Department of Urban and Housing Development (HUD) and other programs. The Moreno Valley Project will offer a range of services to the residents as well, including veteran programs, counseling and mentoring, job placement assistance and transportation to medical appointments. Additionally, there will be GED training, after school education and childcare, internships and a host of youth programming to help veterans and all residents.
Helms concluded, "Together we will work with Vendaval to raise awareness about the many critical needs veterans are facing at the moment, from homelessness to unemployment. The demand is obvious, so embracing a more disruptive stance makes sense."
