About G.R.I.T House Foundation

Where the Comeback Is Greater Than the Struggle

Founded by U.S. Marine Corps veteran Kristina White, G.R.I.T House Foundation was built on the belief that everyone deserves a second chance. After years of service and community impact, Kristina recognized a growing need for transitional housing that not only provides shelter, but restores hope, dignity, and purpose.

Today, G.R.I.T House Foundation stands as a safe haven for veterans and women navigating life’s hardest transitions. The name “G.R.I.T” stands for Growth. Resilience. Independence. Transformation, the four pillars that define every resident’s journey.

🕊️ Our Mission

To provide transitional housing and supportive services that empower veterans and women to rebuild their lives with dignity, stability, and self-sufficiency.

We believe that healing begins with community and that long-term transformation happens when individuals are given structure, compassion, and opportunity.

🌿 Our Vision

A world where every veteran and woman in crisis has a pathway to healing, independence, and lasting success.

💚 Core Values

• Integrity: We lead with honesty, accountability, and respect.

• Compassion: We see the person, not the circumstance.

• Empowerment: We equip individuals with the tools to thrive.

• Community: We believe no one rebuilds alone.
