With all of his success, Memphis will never forget the despair of being a U.S. Navy veteran, with 14 years of service, homeless, hopeless, and suffering with PTSD.

Our housing assistance programs help veterans secure safe, affordable homes, while our mental health services provide vital support for those facing emotional and psychological challenges. We are also committed to honoring our veterans by ensuring they receive the benefits and services they deserve.

At Building Brides of America, we are more than just a support organization—we are a minority owned and veteran led community dedicated to building a brighter future for those who bravely served in the US Armed Forces.
