And you heard about a transition community that would provide up to 1 year of:
PTS(D)/depression counseling
Physical Therapy
Help filing for veteran/public assistance programs (medical/education/housing)
Job Training/Job Placement
A "tiny house" for 1
Community center with a Veterans Aid "clearing house"
Internet connectivity for online courses
support group meetings for AA/NA/other
Transportation to appointments/interviews/classes etc, not on site
All within walking distance...
In exchange they had to:
Stay clean and sober
Participate in PTS(D)/depression study for veterans (independent of the VA)
Put in 1-2 hours a day in "chores" for facility support
Do 4 hours a week community volunteer work in the larger community
Work with counselors and legal, actively and honestly, to resolve personal issues
Pay "rent" from public assistance for facility operation costs
In a community of up to 200 fellow disadvantaged veterans and volunteers...
Would you use it? Would you recommend it? Would you support it?
Do you have any suggestions?

I don't need it, and have a family so it wouldn't work for me, but I would recommend it for any folks I know that meet the criteria and could benefit.

Although I'm not in need, if I were, I'd use it, recommend it, definitely support it as well.

That's a fine sentiment, but let's face it, even the strongest person needs a little help sometimes. We have some pretty hardcore folks here too. Just ask some of the infantry folks on here. He is foolish to believe otherwise.

PV2 (Join to see) I consider myself pretty strong. I have been face down in the gutter and understand that everyone, whether they believe it or not, has a point of breaking. I would definitely support it, recommend it, and would use it if I ever get to the point of breaking again.
Not all have problems with drugs and drinking. There does come a time, whether it is through the use of drugs, drinking, or as in my case, attempting to take their own life, we need help.
Thank you for your support to those in all kinds of needs. You have been a blessing to many.
