Veterans... Homeless…Housing

A Home for Every Veteran….Lets think about this for a moment. A disabled veteran returns from the horrors war from Iraq or Afghanistan and is most likely about to lose his home. The very same place he so bravely fought to save for you and I. After all he has done for us he returns “Home”

and is about to be homeless himself. Why, because by the time his VA benefits kick in; it’s just too late.  He becomes overwhelmed with ongoing and increasing debt for himself and his family. This stress is so unfair and totally unnecessary.

The War Is Over But Not For Him. Now not only limited physically but additional heavier mental problems have been created. He or she is also trying to and counting on family and friends to get him through.


 

Perhaps his significant other had to give up their employment to take better care of him.

What he needs more than anything else is “Time and Financial Assistance”. It takes a while to adjust to civilian life and it takes money to support his family and avoid becoming homeless. What can we do to help?

Rent-Free Transitional Housing.....(operationhomefront.org)…..The purpose of the program is to help young disabled veterans avoid homelessness. Temporary housing is provided, rent free during the transition period. Counselors are provided to offer assistance with financial needs and hopefully a smooth transition into society. Once it is determined that they have become self-sufficient then help is provided for obtaining suitable housing for the family. If you would like more information about the Transitional Housing Program….. please email transitionalhousing@operationhomefront.org

There are two other great  transitional sites to view:
