About The House of UHS Foundation
Unity • Healing • Support — a mission born from lived experience and a commitment that no one should struggle alone.
The House of UHS Foundation is a veteran-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring lives, rebuilding hope, and strengthening communities.
We connect individuals and families with resources, support services, and opportunities that promote healing, stability, self-sufficiency, and hope. We don't replace existing agencies — we help people find them, navigate them, and feel supported every step of the way.
Because no one should have to struggle alone.
Empowering Lives. Strengthening Communities. Creating Hope.
Our Vision
A community where every individual — regardless of background, ability, or circumstance — has access to the resources, support, and dignity they need to thrive.
A community where help feels like an open door, not a maze — and where every person is met with compassion, exactly where they are.
Our Values
- • Unity — we are stronger together
- • Healing — restoration for body, mind, and spirit
- • Support — standing beside those in need
- • Dignity — every person treated with respect
- • Compassion — meeting people where they are
- • Connection — bridging people to the help they need
Felicia Crest
Felicia Crest is a disabled veteran who served her country with honor. She is also a single mother, a neurodivergent advocate, and a nonprofit founder who has turned her own experiences with adversity into a lifelong mission of service.
Having navigated the complexities of military service, disability, and raising a family without a safety net, Felicia understands firsthand what it means to need support — and how overwhelming it can feel to find it. She knows the frustration of not knowing where to turn, and she knows the relief that comes when someone finally helps you find the next step.
That's why she founded The House of UHS Foundation — not to be another agency, but to be a bridge. A guide. A place where people don't just receive a referral, but feel seen, heard, and supported. The foundation's name — Unity, Healing, Support — reflects her belief that these three elements, woven together, can transform lives and communities.
As a neurodivergent advocate, Felicia is especially passionate about ensuring that services are accessible, inclusive, and designed to meet people exactly where they are — because everyone deserves to be helped with patience and respect.
