At Eagle’s Landing, VOA Southeast helps veterans build stability one step at a time.
Safe housing is the first step. However, lasting progress requires much more. Veterans also need daily essentials, health resources, and consistent support.
That is why community partners support veterans in powerful ways at Eagle’s Landing. Their support strengthens the work happening every day.

Each January, Volunteers of America Southeast teams across Alabama and Georgia take part in the Point-in-Time Count—an effort that ensures people experiencing homelessness are seen, heard, and counted with dignity. That commitment continues through Project Homeless Connect, where VOA Southeast’s Eagle’s Landing program joins community partners and volunteers to connect individuals to essential services, free of charge. Together, these efforts move communities beyond numbers toward meaningful connection, compassion, and lasting change.
