OUR MISSION

Improving financial wellness to combat food insecurity, homelessness, mental health conditions, suicide, and other crises through counseling, education, and financial support for enlisted service members, veterans and their families.

In October 2012, Support the Enlisted Project (STEP) was formed as a 501(c)3 nonprofit based in San Diego to assist our community’s young military and Veteran families in financial crisis. Over the past eight years, the support of STEP’s mission has been nothing short of amazing.

To date, STEP has served more than 6,300 military and Veteran families through our main Emergency Financial Assistance (EFA) program. The families who come to STEP are at risk of losing a basic necessity – their home, a vehicle, water, electricity, insurance – or they consistently run out of essentials, like food and baby diapers, before their next paycheck. Our professional Social Workers counsel one-on-one with each client family, utilizing a holistic approach to personal finance. Every client family leaves STEP with a better understanding of their financial situation and a personalized plan to achieve their goals. When necessary, STEP provides a financial assistance grant to prevent the loss of a critical basic need.
