Despite the nonprofit model of high salaries and overhead with few documentable success stories to promote, the American taxpayer will be footing the bill for yet another year to help keep tax-exempt, nonprofit principals and employees comfortably housed and very well fed.

In particular, look at the amounts of “contribution and grants” coming into these nonprofits vice the “salaries, other compensation, employee benefits” supporting those who claim to care about veterans and you may not need an explanation as to why veterans are still in need of stable housing today.

Note: Some of these nonprofits claim to have “ended” veteran homelessness but still maintain active web pages soliciting donations to help house homeless veterans….

And this is just a sampling of the proposed federal awards for fiscal year 2019 ($326 million) to nonprofits who receive donations, state and federal grants and do more to provide steady employment and incomes for their employees than the veterans they exploit.

Most retail businesses try and keep their employee costs between 15-30% to remain competitive, but as nonprofits don’t need to observe such fiscal disciplines, spending close-to or over half of their revenues on salaries and bennies, regardless of mission accomplishments explains why veteran homelessness is an issue they really don’t wish to ever be solved.
