Our Mission
Women veterans face homelessness, domestic violence, sexual assault, PTSD, and trauma recovery, often in silence, and often alone. WVSS exists to end that silence.
We provide emergency shelter, crisis intervention, benefits navigation, trauma support, and employment pathways, all specifically designed for women who served. We are the only organization in the Triangle area that accepts women veterans with children.
Founded in 2008 by Patricia Harris, WVSS has been a lifeline when the system falls short.
Our Vision
WVSS will provide a beacon of hope to women veterans in crisis, and that through our services at the Women Veterans Crisis and Support Center (WVCSC) in Durham, together with our education and advocacy efforts, these women and their families will have their dignity restored, and will be empowered to take positive steps to move forward in their lives.
Core Values
At Women Veterans Support Services, Inc. (WVSS), our core values are rooted in compassion, empowerment, and unwavering dedication to the well-being of women veterans. We believe in honoring their service by providing tailored support that addresses their unique challenges and fosters dignity, respect, and resilience. Through collaboration, transparency, and a commitment to excellence, we strive to create safe spaces, meaningful opportunities, and lasting solutions that empower women veterans to rebuild their lives and achieve their full potential. At WVSS, we step up so they can step out with strength, hope, and renewed purpose.
