about midwest shelter for homeless veterans
No Hero Left Behind
Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans is a non-profit agency that provides housing, supportive services, and community outreach to help homeless and at-risk veterans and their families achieve self-sufficiency. Founded in 2007, by Vietnam War veteran Bob Adams and Gulf War veteran Dirk Enger, MSHV operates on a vision to end veteran homelessness so that no person who has defended our homes goes without a home.
