The mission
Stable work starts with stable ground
Veterans Alliance of Oklahoma, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit doing business in Texas as Veterans Alliance of Texas, exists to move homeless and unemployed veterans from crisis to careers. We give veterans a stable place to live, train them in the skilled trades employers are hiring for right now, and place them in jobs that pay a steady, lasting wage.
Veterans leave the service with the discipline, teamwork and work ethic the trades depend on, yet too many end up without housing or steady work. We believe a veteran with a safe place to sleep, a trade certification and an employer who knows their value can build a life that lasts.
Housing stability
Connect veterans with safe housing and the basics they need before a first day on the job.
Skills training
Hands-on training and certifications in the trades employers are hiring for right now.
Job placement
Direct introductions to contractors and employer partners, with support through the first months.
Who we serve: homeless, at-risk and unemployed veterans across Oklahoma and the Dallas–Fort Worth area.

About us
Built by a veteran, for veterans
Veterans Alliance was founded by AJ Johnson, a U.S. Army veteran, to close the gap between military service and a civilian career. Too many veterans leave the service with discipline, leadership and technical skill, and still end up without a home or a steady job.
Our answer is practical: stabilize housing first, train for trades that are hiring, and put veterans in front of employers who value what they bring. We operate as Veterans Alliance of Oklahoma and Veterans Alliance of Texas under one mission.
