For the women who served.

Aspire · Renew · KindleOur mission
She served.
Now, let’s
show up for her.
ARK—Aspire, Renew, Kindle—is a nonprofit working to help female veterans and their children move from housing insecurity toward lasting independence.
Our vision starts with safe transitional housing and access to counseling and services. From that foundation, women can pursue the job training and/or education they need to leave equipped with the knowledge and ability to provide for themselves and their families.
We’re building the foundation for this work. The housing and services described here are our vision for the program as it develops. Housing will provide a sober living environment.
The future we’re building
More than shelter.
Room for a new chapter.
Support to move forward.
Access to counseling, services, and mentors can help women address their individual needs and build a strong foundation for themselves and their families.
Skills for independence.
Job training and/or education will be central to our vision: helping women leave with the skills, knowledge, and ability to earn a living and provide for themselves and their families.
Be part of the beginning
A stronger future
starts with
