Meet Toya Harris, Founder of Providing for Our Veterans (P4OV)

In 2015, military veteran and co-owner, Toya Harris, became frustrated with seeing her fellow veteran comrades spread on several street corners throughout the city holding homeless signs. She realized that she could have been in that very same position. Toya wanted to help, but she was not sure exactly what to do. In 2019, she began working for a non-profit organization that served veteran clients, and it was there that she discovered a huge missing link. Veterans would have opportunities to take steps towards becoming self-sufficient and sustainable, but many of them lacked resources appropriate for their individual needs, they lacked the proper job resources, and they also lacked transportation to get back and forth to essential locations. Although there are some options for transportation in the city for veterans, most of those options come with a long list of requirements that some veterans do not meet. Some veterans need second chances, and this organization was designed with that in mind.
With the help of her business partner and husband, Jamal Harris, Toya was able to develop an organization that would be a liaison between veterans and the resources available to assist them with their sustainability. In 2020, Providing for Our Veterans came to life and today they can help veterans and transitioning active duty military members locate resources and tools necessary to prevent those who protected our many freedoms from staying or becoming homeless.
