Some people can’t imagine doing what we do. We can’t imagine not doing it.

16,000 professionals in the fields of affordable housing, skilled nursing care, veteran services, and more. We’re not volunteers.

Volunteers of America National Services (VOANS) serves as the Housing and Healthcare affiliate of the Volunteers of America parent organization. Incorporated in Minnesota as a 501c3 nonprofit organization in 1982, the issue of providing services in senior housing served as the catalyst for this merger of housing and healthcare activities.
