America’s first intentional community for injured veterans and families.

“Knowing that I can rely on my neighbors, they have my back and I have theirs, it gives me a sense of community. To me, it’s just part of my identity, being a Marine, to be helping others. And even when I was an active duty Marine myself, that was part of our identity, volunteering our time to help out others. Here, I feel like I’m part of a true veterans community.”

“Coming out of the military, it’s almost like you’re losing your identity and you’re kind of isolating, so I know being here with the other guys, we all go through that feeling. So it’s really great for us to come together and help each other out.”

“Being a resident here really gave me footing to catapult myself into something that had been a dream of mine for a while: buying a house. It gave me a support system to really find my confidence again and remember that before my trauma, I actually was very, very competent. And I still am. So what it looks like, it looks like hope. And it definitely looks like the Bastion model works. And I hope that I am showing people that they can be successful in transitioning from Bastion as well.”
