Supporting Our Veterans

Providing shelter, counseling and community support for veterans in need in Macon, Georgia

Community Support

Our program has been sustained through donations, grants, and the committed efforts of our staff and volunteers

Since renovations began in November of 2015, the program has been sustained through donations and grants, but primarily through the committed efforts of Home Port staff and local volunteers. Home Port has held several "All Volunteer Days". These all-day Saturday events have brought volunteers from the local high school ROTC groups, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Habitat for Humanity, the Buffalo Soldiers, and the American Bikers.

Our mission is to provide transitional housing and support services to veterans who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. We help veterans regain stability in their lives through comprehensive services including case management, counseling, job training, and community building activities.

The Home Port facility provides a safe, structured environment where veterans can focus on their transition to independent living while receiving the support they need to succeed.

Counseling And Training Center

Comprehensive support services to help veterans successfully transition to civilian life

Our Mission

Too many times, the men and women who served our country return home with 'wounds', both physical and mental. This makes transitioning to civilian life difficult and sometimes results in homelessness. Other contributing factors include an inability to find a job, a lack of a support network and living in overcrowded or substandard housing.

Support Services

We provide comprehensive support services including counseling, job training, and community building activities to help veterans successfully transition to civilian life. Our case managers work one-on-one with each resident to develop a personalized plan for success.

Volunteer Opportunities

Join our community of volunteers who make our programs possible through their dedication and service to those who served our country. Volunteer opportunities include mentoring, facility maintenance, fundraising, and special event support.
