About FIVE S T A R VETERANS CENTER INC

FIVE S T A R VETERANS CENTER INC is a Jacksonville-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that operates residential and wraparound services for veterans experiencing homelessness or housing instability. Its flagship Passport to Independence program is a structured, multi-phase residential pathway combining housing, case management, mental-health supports, vocational services, and benefits navigation to help veterans transition to stable, independent living. In recent years the organization has continued to operate its residential program, expand clinical and wellness services, and sustain diversified funding: it reported approximately $1.42M in revenue and roughly $2.0M in total assets on its most recent Form 990 filing (fiscal year 2024). The organization has also participated in federal and local veteran-support funding programs and received foundation and municipal grants to support mental wellness and housing operations. Five STAR relies on a mix of philanthropic, foundation, and government support and maintains active local partnerships with community foundations, veterans service groups, corporate sponsors, and local government to deliver housing placements, clinical care, life-skills training, and employment supports for veterans in Northeast Florida.
