Veterans Resource Program-VRP is a 501c3 nonprofit located in Richmond CA. It was founded in 2011 by Rhonda F. Harris to honor her late father, Harry L. Williams, who served and was wounded in the Korean War. Inspired by and extremely devoted to her father, Rhonda served in the California State Guard (formerly known as the California State Military Reserve) where she achieved the rank of Sargent in their Human Resources Department unit. She now serves as Executive Director of VRP. California has an estimated of 1.8 million Veterans, approximately 11,000 are homeless. In Contra Costa County’s Health and Housing Homeless Department, its reported that 596 veterans have accessed its Homelessness Continuum of Care program. This makes up 7% of the 8,228 in the County’s program as of 2018. Because we have had an influx of veterans returning from Afghanistan, and due to the COVID-19, the numbers of homeless veterans have increased significantly. VRP recognizes the need to provide military veterans with housing and continuum of services with resources tailored for their individual needs that empowers and enables the veteran to become a productive member of society again. VRP was honored by Tom Butt, Mayor of Richmond, who proclaimed the Veterans Resource Program ‘the city’s primary veteran’s organization.’
