Eretta learned the importance of giving back at an early age. She grew up in a family full of Veterans, from her father who was a well-known cowboy and Army veteran, to her older brother, as well a her husband, A Vet's Choice Co-Founder, Harold O. Perry.
She later devoted 20 years of her life to teaching and then became a Real Estate Consultant, an Entrepreneur and a Philanthropist. Her upbringing and compassion for people never departed from her.
Twenty eight percent of Greater Houston's homeless population are veterans (approximately 3,600). 5-10% of Houston's homeless are women veterans. About 45% of homeless veterans suffer from mental illness. With a special affinity towards helping our veterans, Eretta and her husband have always prayed to be part of the answer to these problems.
Being part of the answer is what led her to found Love And Hope For Our Heroes, an organization focused on creating stable, vibrant and healthy communities by providing affordable, service-led housing. We serve people with special needs with the full spectrum of affordable housing, including elder care, mental health, VA housing, halfway homes, assisted living, sober homes and much more.
We hope you'll partner with us to provide love and hope for our heroes. Your donation and support is essential to helping us build long-term change in our veterans' lives and in their communities

Our process focuses on our core belief and philosophy that the personal, physical and spiritual well-being of our clients must come first. We take an inter-disciplinary approach to our management as well as a team approach to our service offerings. We partner with numerous local and state non-profits as well as governmental entities in order to best meet the needs of our community.
Unlike most providers that have a check-list of requirements, we prefer to take a holistic approach. Most of our clients typically originate via a shared referral source. Often times this could be a doctor, nurse, case worker, social worker or even another clients’ family. Doing so allows our qualified staff to better understand the special needs of the particular client and therefore make a decision.
Our mission and philosophy stems from four key components: Respect, Empathy, Self-Learning and Pride Of Ownership. We personally believe that housing is a universal necessity that creates positive change for all of humanity. With housing and the above key-tenets, we believe that we can impact change and help our clients better their lives. Our mission is simply to improve the lives of our clients through affordable, all-inclusive housing.

"We are so grateful for what you have done. Our daughter’s disability was at the point where it was too much for us to handle. You went over and above what needed to be done and have not only alleviated us from the burden of caring for our loved one, you have actually made our family relationship stronger and more loving. Thank you for all that you do!"
– Denise and John Jenkin
