Ending Veteran Homelessness

Relationship breakdown is the most common experience of men and women who spiral into homelessness. Twelve hours of PAIRS skills training helps most people learn to strengthen relationships with friends, family and social supports. 

Purpose Built Families Foundation's approach to ending homelessness includes both affordable housing that promotes community and relationship skills training that empowers human connection. Benefits are measured in reclaimed lives and tracked across generations.

Military training helps our servicemen and women survive the battlefield, protect others, and accomplish ambitious goals. When it comes to areas of life that are far from the battlefield, however, other skills and resources may be even more helpful. For example, a tank isn't needed for dinner with friends and family, story time or homework with youngsters, or romantic date nights with an intimate.

Skills for successful relationships are not difficult to learn; they're even more fun to master. Essentials include learning to communicate (both listening and expressing), working through conflict and differences, and getting comfortable navigating the range of emotions in ourselves and others.
