| Welcome to the
Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans |
 |
The Midwest Shelter for
Homeless Veterans is a not-for-profit transitional living facility
that
provides assistance to U.S. veterans of any
era
for the opportunity to return to useful and productive lives by
providing them with the skills
for
independent living.
The
MSHV was founded and incorporated in 2000 by
Robert M. Adams of Winfield, Illinois. Mr. Adams
is a US Navy combat veteran of the Vietnam era,
and a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in
private practice. Over the past years, Mr.
Adams, through his private practice, has been
providing individual, group, and family therapy
especially for veterans.

Red Cross Award
Robert M. Adams was honored on
April 23, 2009 as our Military Hero for
his work in rehabilitating and serving
homeless veterans. Bob served with the
U.S. Marines in Vietnam, and he returned
home to witness the obstacles,
addictions and prejudices veterans
faced.
As a Marine, Bob holds the core belief
that no one should be left behind on the
battlefield, yet he saw his fellow
veterans living on the streets. He found
this unacceptable, and created the
Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans in
Wheaton.
