Help us acquire our first supportive housing site for Memphis-area veterans and adults in need.

The Problem

Thousands of veterans and adults in Memphis live with mental health struggles. Many face unstable housing, unsafe environments, or homelessness. Getting better is almost impossible without a safe, supportive space to heal.

The Solution

Our Mission

Gloria Jean Transitional Housing was founded in 2019 to serve individuals navigating halfway and transitional housing needs. We’re now refocusing our mission: to serve veterans and adults with mental health challenges in Memphis by providing supportive housing, care, and stability.

Our Vision

A Memphis where every veteran and adult with mental health challenges has a safe, stable place to call home and the support to thrive.

Why Veterans and Mental Health?

Veterans return from service only to face another battle: PTSD, anxiety, depression and often, unstable housing or homelessness. Adults struggling with mental health face stigma, job loss, broken relationships, and housing insecurity.

We believe healing starts with housing and that no one should walk through mental illness or trauma alone.
