The Salvation Army Haven was started in 1994 at the West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs Healthcare Center (VAHC) as an emergency housing program for veterans. The Haven caters to the needs of veterans, on issues such as housing, employment, healthcare, behavioral health, substance abuse and community integration. Every year, more than 2500 veterans are served through our various programs.
The Haven is seeking students (masters level) or working professionals in the fields of social work or mental health looking to volunteer their time and skills by serving veterans. Volunteers who qualify will assist in facilitating one of the groups that work with our seniors (60+).
Groups meet Tuesday/Thursday 9:30-11:30am. Contact Nancy Alemoh at 310-478-3711 ext 49345 or email nancy.alemoh@usw.salvationarmy.org
