Soul Survivor Supportive Living Foundation
Soul Survivor Supportive Living Foundation, founded by Ella Jefferson-Speed and also known as URASurvivor, is a veteran-owned nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting women US military veterans. Located in Midwest City, Oklahoma, the foundation provides transitional supportive living homes designed to assist women veterans and women facing multiple barriers to stability, including disabilities, homelessness, involvement in the justice system, and substance abuse challenges. Founded with a mission rooted in respect, empathy, self-learning, and pride of ownership, the organization creates safe, drug-free home environments that serve as healing spaces for vulnerable populations.
With over four years of service, Soul Survivor has become a recognized community resource in Oklahoma, providing women veterans and other marginalized women with affordable, all-inclusive housing environments that address their complex needs. The foundation's approach emphasizes housing as a universal necessity that catalyzes positive change, enabling clients to rebuild their lives with dignity and purpose. Through both direct services and partnerships with local agencies like the Oklahoma County Drug Court, the organization champions the needs of veteran women at both local and national levels.
The foundation is committed to community engagement and volunteer participation, viewing supportive services as a dynamic exchange where everyone has valuable contributions to make. Its operations reflect a deep commitment to accountability and excellence in serving women veterans who have sacrificed for their country, helping them transition from surviving to thriving in their post-military lives.
