The Valor Home of Lorain County

Valor Home was funded in 2010 by grants and donations. Navy Cross Veteran Sam Felton along with Veterans Dan Gillotti, Don Attie and others had a huge part in making Valor home a reality. On December 22, 2014 we opened our doors. Since our opening we have had 224 residents stay with us.

The Valor Home of Lorain County is a transitional housing program for homeless male veterans. We help our residents through structured and engaging therapies such as art, music and life skills therapy on-site four days a week. Our support workers offer advocacy and encouragement to our residents.

Valor Home Lorain is a drug-free, alcohol-free, and smoke-free facility. Valor Home provides support services to residents both on-site and in the community. Each resident is assigned a support worker. Daily routine includes self-improvement activities, exercises in self-sufficiency and personal time. ELIGIBILITY

We were Blessed in 2018 to open the very first Women Veterans housing in Lorain county. The property has 3 apartments for Female Veterans. Thanks to UAW Local 2000 volunteering labor, private donors and a grant from the Ohio attorney generals office this project was done in record time.
