One Tulsa nonprofit is being recognized for its work with veterans, and they could possibly get a boost. But first, they need the public’s help.

Co-founder and president Sean Lord explained to us that they provide what they call “no-red-tape solutions” for housing.
“So, if we meet a veteran today, we can offer them a place to live that is safe right now — regardless of what the circumstances are, as long as we can verify that they are actually a veteran,” he said. “We expect nothing from them in the process, other than them being willing to let us work alongside them.”
