Welcome to Stand Down
A non-profit organization
Providing support for homeless veterans since May 2000

Stand Down was founded by two veterans with a vision to help their comrades who are
struggling, who have lost their homes, their dignity, and their ability to lead productive lives.



Roy Foster and Donald Reed began to make their dream a reality when they founded
Faith*Hope*Love*Charity, Inc. (FHLC, Inc.), a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, in
1994. In May 2000 Stand Down opened its doors and it has continued to flourish since.

Stand Down is a multi tiered program that assists & supports male veterans who
are struggling with addiction & have become homeless as a result of that struggle.
