President’s Corner: June 2025 SITREP

June marks the beginning of summer and with it comes a renewed energy across our mission. At Valor Haven Estates, we are deepening our planning and expanding our partnerships, making real progress toward transforming vision into place. This is also PTSD Awareness Month, reminding us that unseen wounds require visible, structural support.

PTSD Awareness Month

PTSD affects one in every five veterans, yet many never seek help due to stigma or lack of access. Valor Haven Estates is designed to remove these barriers. Our trauma-informed housing, mental health services, and work-based recovery programs aim to create an ecosystem of healing. We believe that structure, purpose, and safety are not luxuries; they are essential to recovery.

Community Infrastructure and Care

We are working closely with local officials to finalize infrastructure plans that serve both our residents and the surrounding community. This includes integrated mental health clinics, veteran-led emergency services, and public spaces for resilience training and education. Our goal is to weave Valor Haven Estates into the fabric of Sonoma County.

Youth Engagement and Intergenerational Healing

This summer, we are exploring programming to include family support and youth engagement. Healing is generational, and our model will include safe spaces for children, family reunification support, and mentorship programs that connect veterans with local youth through agriculture and trades.

Environmental Resilience

As fire season approaches in California, we are actively planning our disaster response capabilities. Valor Haven Estates is not just a home, it will be a Command Center of emergency readiness. Veteran-led teams trained in rapid response will serve the community in times of need.

Call to Engage

As we reach the midpoint of the year, we invite civic leaders, investors, and advocates to take the next step with us. The urgency is clear, the planning is in motion, and the opportunity to transform lives is in front of us. If you believe in service, structure, and a second chance for those who served, we welcome your partnership.

With purpose and resolve,

Sean Correa
President
