About
The Valor Villages partnership
Two separate organizations. One shared population. A deliberately clear line between what each of us does.
Who does what
The single most useful thing we can publish about this partnership is the boundary. People arrive needing help and should not have to work out which organization to ask.

What the partnership has built
Valor #1 Housing — November 2025
With support from The Hunt Foundation, Valor Villages opened a residence for eight formerly unhoused veterans: two units, four women on one side and four men on the other. Not shelter beds — a residence with a kitchen, laundry, a door that locks, help claiming earned benefits, and transport to medical appointments.
The horticulture retraining program and prairie — 2026
A quiet-by-design vocational training program anchored by a two-tenths-of-an-acre restoration of historical Missouri tallgrass prairie, with a planned extensive green roof on the Woodson Road building. Veterans trained on the site will install and maintain both.

Building Bright Futures
Valor Villages is separately raising funds for a residential home for children facing homelessness or displacement. That campaign is theirs; we support it clinically and point you to it honestly. It is not funded by gifts made on this site.
Giving to the right organization
Gifts made on this site go to Sevadar Foundation Inc. (EIN 93-2840861) and fund the clinical and vocational programs described here. Gifts to Valor Villages Inc. (EIN 93-2266407) fund housing, food and case management, and are made at valorvillages.org. Both organizations are 501(c)(3) tax-exempt; neither passes gifts to the other automatically.
Why the two organizations work together
Valor Villages provides housing; Valor Medica provides the medical care that makes housing hold. Neither works as well alone. Housing without healthcare leaves untreated conditions to escalate indoors; healthcare without housing produces plans that cannot be followed.
How it works day to day
Medical support is delivered on site rather than by referral elsewhere, case managers and clinicians share a picture of the same resident, and a resident who needs care does not have to arrange transport to get it. Consent governs what information moves between the organizations.
What each organization is responsible for
Housing, tenancy and case management sit with Valor Villages. Clinical assessment, treatment and medical documentation sit with Valor Medica. Keeping those distinct matters: it means a resident’s medical information is not part of a housing decision, and a housing dispute does not become a reason care stops.
