The 23rd Annual Compton Veterans Stand Down brought veterans and their families together for three days of services, resources and fellowship. For the Love of Our Veterans thanks the City of Compton, Compton Chamber of Commerce, Compton Housing Authority, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Compton College, participating organizations, donors and volunteers who helped make the Stand Down possible.

Veteran homelessness across Greater Los Angeles declined sharply in 2026. The latest count identified 2,257 veterans experiencing homelessness—793 fewer than in 2025 and approximately 42% below the 2023 estimate. Improved outreach, coordinated case management, and expanding VA housing are helping, but continued local support, referrals, Stand Down events, and housing assistance remain essential.

Our sponsors, partners, and volunteers are the foundation of the Compton Veterans Stand Down. Through their generosity, collaboration, and dedicated service, they help provide veterans with essential resources, compassionate care, and renewed hope. We sincerely thank every organization and volunteer who supports our mission year after year. Together, we continue Serving Those Who Served.
