Veterans Employment Alliance, Inc.

Description

In addition to the complex set of factors affecting the

homeless population...job layoffs, substance abuse,

and an extreme shortage of affordable housing and

lack of access to health care...a large number of

displaced and at-risk veterans live with lingering

effects of combat related posttraumatic

stress disorder (PTSD). These hardships, often

compounded by loss of family and social support

networks, make the issue of homelessness a difficult

challenge. Our belief in V eterans helping Veterans through

shared experiences and treating the whole individual -

mentally, physically and spiritually - is why our

program will be successful in empowering homeles

s veterans and families in crisis to embrace and

maintain independent living and self-sufficiency.
