“Joining Homes 4 Families is a step on my professional journey that I take with pride, excitement and humility - as we have a critical mission in filling the gap of housing and supportive resources for veterans and military families,” said Crystal. “This role is the definition of an epitome of a labor of love as I will honor the legacies of my late father, an army veteran, and a brother and sister, both having served in our armed forces, through the transformational work we do. As the next CEO, I look forward to seeing us further the impact we make amongst our veterans and military families as we expand our strategic partnerships and increase visibility of the services we provide at Homes 4 Families to engage more of the community in support of our mission.“
Board Chair of Homes 4 Families Michael Weintraub said “As Homes 4 Families enters this next phase of its evolution and growth I am excited to welcome Crystal aboard. Her more than 2 decades of non-profit leadership combined with her personal passion for Homes 4 Families mission make her the perfect leader for these times. Working with our incredible staff, Crystal will build on the proven success of our Veteran Enriched Neighborhood model and dramatically increase the number of Veteran families we serve each and every year.”
Homes 4 Families is currently constructing two Veteran Enriched Neighborhood communities — one in Palmdale and another in North Hollywood — both located in Los Angeles County. This proven model combines affordable, first-time homeownership opportunities for low-income veterans with comprehensive education and enrichment services that support successful reintegration, responsible homeownership, and long-term upward mobility. The organization partners with the California Department of Veterans Affairs and the Cities of Palmdale and Los Angeles, respectively, to develop these neighborhoods. Operating with less than 2% of its budget dedicated to administration and fundraising, Homes 4 Families depends on grants, donations, and volunteers to carry out its mission of empowering military families to build brighter futures.
Yelverton will oversee strategic growth, partnerships, and program expansion across Southern California as Homes 4 Families continues to address the growing need for affordable housing and self-sufficiency programs among low-income veterans.
