Interior Fusion Teams Up With NVHS to Give Back to Melbourne Community

1.4 million veterans are at risk of homelessness.

Due to a lack of healthy support networks, affordable housing, and increasing poverty, homelessness in veterans is on the rise. Florida has one of the highest amounts of homeless veterans, second only to California.

National Veterans Homeless Support Inc. (NVHS) aims to change that.

NVHS’s mission is to eliminate homelessness among veterans in Central Florida. Founded in 2008 and focused in Brevard County, FL, the non-profit has reduced the homeless population in the county by 88 percent. Their goal is to get all of the homeless housed while keeping at-risk veterans in their homes.

To do that, however, they need help.

That’s where we come in. We recently opened a new showroom in Melbourne, FL. Our founder, Rich Fendley, is a service-disabled military veteran. To show support for the cause, we partnered with the non-profit for our new location’s opening. For the first two months of sales, NVHS receives a portion of the profit.

“What makes NVHS truly unique is the fact that they tackle homelessness directly where it exists…on the streets of the community, “ said Fendley. “They proactively go out to find those in need through street-level outreach where they live, provide basic needs to ensure their survival and build rapport, and connect them to any organization that offers a service beneficial to them, rapidly moving from homeless to housed.”

With 4,400 veterans in Brevard County living in poverty, NVHS’s mission is not complete. If you would like to help, consider volunteering or donating.
