Our Mission

Forward Horizon exists to provide safe, structured transitional housing and comprehensive support services for veterans, individuals in recovery, and returning citizens. We believe that everyone deserves a second chance and the opportunity to rebuild their lives with dignity, purpose, and community support.

Safe, Welcoming Community

Our Story

Forward Horizon was founded on the belief that transition periods—whether from military service, addiction, or incarceration—are critical moments that require specialized support and understanding.

Our founders recognized that traditional approaches often failed to address the unique challenges faced by these populations. Through years of community work and personal experience, Forward Horizon emerged as a comprehensive solution that addresses not just housing, but the holistic needs of individuals in transition.

Today, we continue to evolve our programs based on the needs of our residents and the lessons learned from our community's collective journey toward healing and growth.
