Safe, affordable transitional housing for homeless and at-risk veterans in greater Atlanta — including veterans with pets and veterans with families. No one gets left behind.
Veterans return from service having given everything. Too many come home to housing instability, fractured support systems, and no safe place to land — and too many are forced to give up their pets or leave their families just to access shelter.
Lewis and Lyon Center of Hope was founded to close that gap. We provide stable, affordable housing and connect every resident to the full range of VA and community services they need to thrive — on their own terms, with their families and pets intact.
We provide the housing. VA case managers and community partners provide clinical support. Together, veterans get everything they need.
Clean, furnished units with full lease agreements. Veterans are tenants with complete legal rights — not patients. Your home is your home.
Companion animals are welcome. Veterans should never choose between a pet and a roof. Designated pet-friendly units available for dogs, cats, and small animals.
Housing for veterans with spouses, children, and other dependents. HUD-VASH family vouchers welcome (units go through the housing authority inspection and approval process). No family gets separated.
VA case managers visit residents on-site. LLCOH coordinates access to mental health, medical services, and benefits — we connect, you receive care on your terms.
Connections to VA pension, HUD-VASH vouchers, SSVF assistance, Social Security, and Medicaid to help every veteran access their earned benefits.
Veteran-to-veteran peer support programming. Community built by veterans, for veterans — real connection, no clinical labels required.
Optional communal kitchen and shared meals — a gathering place, not a mandatory service. Community happens around the table.
Coordination with VA shuttle services and community transportation so no appointment gets missed.
Standard Georgia lease for every resident. 30-day notice protection, right to privacy, quiet enjoyment — always. You are a tenant, not a patient.
We serve veterans experiencing homelessness or housing instability in the greater Atlanta area — including the veterans other programs leave behind.
Our transitional housing model treats veterans as tenants with full legal rights and connects them to VA and community services on their own terms.
The Director works with every veteran to identify VA, HUD-VASH, SSVF, and other benefits before move-in. No veteran turned away for inability to pay without exploring all options first.
Too many programs force veterans to abandon their pets or separate from their families just to access housing. LLCOH is built from the ground up to serve the whole veteran — no compromises.
Companion animals are part of the family. For many veterans, a pet is a lifeline — providing emotional support, routine, and connection during recovery. No veteran should choose between their pet and a home.
Veterans with spouses, children, and dependents deserve housing that keeps their family together — not programs that split them apart. LLCOH offers family units for households of all sizes.
Lewis and Lyon Center of Hope, LLC was founded by Jermaine Bullard Sr. to fill one of the most persistent gaps in veteran services: safe, affordable housing that doesn’t require veterans to surrender their pets, leave their families, or trade their rights for a roof.
Named in memory of Sgt. Adrian J. Lewis and Capt. David L. Lyon, LLCOH operates as a transitional housing provider in the greater Atlanta, Georgia area. Residents are tenants with full legal rights — VA case managers and community partners provide clinical support on their own terms.
LLCOH is building working relationships with the Atlanta VA Medical Center’s HUD-VASH team, SSVF grantees, local public housing agencies, community health organizations, and faith communities throughout the greater Atlanta area, so that veterans placed through those programs have a home ready for them.
Lewis and Lyon Center of Hope, LLC is a for-profit LLC, legally separate from Unsung Heroes of America, Inc. (501c3). Gifts to UHOA do not fund LLCOH operations.
Jermaine founded LLCOH out of a lifelong commitment to ensuring that veterans who served our country have a safe, dignified place to call home — and that no veteran faces housing instability alone, without their family, or without their pet.
He personally works with every veteran to identify VA, HUD-VASH, and SSVF benefits before move-in and oversees all housing operations, tenant relations, and grant partnerships.
Whether you’re a veteran, a family member, a VA social worker, a HUD-VASH case manager, or a hospital discharge planner — we want to hear from you. No cost to inquire. No application fee.
Tell us about your situation — including pets and family — and we’ll work through available benefits and housing options together.
Thank you for reaching out. Jermaine Bullard Sr. will contact you within 1–2 business days to discuss housing options and next steps.
