Who likes to help veterans with housing and jobs

Mission Statement: Materially address the 22 vet suicides daily.

Vision:  Organize a national collective effort to assist by buying housing (using conventional and creative techniques).  Use veterans to procure the housing, use veterans to rehab the housing, use veterans to populate the housing.  Teaching investing and teaming with veterans full business cycle.  

Background: I am a 30 year real estate investor who is coincidentally a retired military officer.  I was called a mustang...  which means we spent part of our time enlisted before commissioning.  Spent 10 years 9 months enlisted was a terminal attack controller attached to the army (but I was an Air Force guy).  During those early years I started investing in buy and hold deals. Did 10 years commissioned service as a Space Officer / Satellite Vehicle Operator, Air Education Training Command Space 100 Instructor, and Lastly 3 years as a Politico/Military Affairs Officer (and project manager) in Europe. 

I am looking for ideas on how to organize this effort quickly.  Ideas on id'ing early stakeholders that would naturally be aligned with what we are doing.  This is not a charitable thing.  This is a pure entrepreneurism overlaid on a social need to solve the solve social dilemma via capitalism.  Socialism has no fruit w/o its latent social defects.  Any ideas that may help or assist????
