Reintegration programs.

Hi Lisa - great observations. We ran a trial program a couple of years ago, and what you described is exactly what we found. I wound up coming out of pocket personally to help pay for rents, utilities, food, etc, and we also decided to have large lunches every day so the families could come and eat at our school, and take home the leftovers. We are petitioning now to get FEMA trailers to upgrade and use for temporary quarters for veterans and their families, so we can help ensure the success of the program. We are also offering financial education programs, ensuring there are no tax problems, and helping structure family finances to help them be successful financially. We are partners with the IRS.
Thank you for your response and confirming essential services that are needed to make it work.

Thanks - not yet - we had to overcome a bunch of fraud, but I absolutely want to do it there. Do you have any thoughts for putting one there?

SGT Craig Northacker - I hadn't really given it any thought but it seems like something I would be doing eventually as a Clinical Social Worker. There is a large population of veterans here that I'm sure can benefit from this type of program. I'm open to any suggestions.

I've been trying to get involved with the Soldier's Project here in Chicago and was curious if there was a partnership opportunity. The link for partners down on your home page is broken FYI. Also I've jumped many a times down at DeLand - good group of people.

Thanks for the observations - we just switched site platforms. We are open to many different relationships - and have many around the country. We have a god group of people. Once we get the build-out rolling we will be expanding our program throughout the country. Our resources are extraordinary for a small group - we have excellent partners and supporters. We just built our platform from within so as we roll out we have excellent programs, supporters, and opportunities to give our vets and their families a solid hand up without being constrained by other government silliness. What is your area of interest in doing things?

While I have a business background I have a heart for both physical and mental health issues. I had a friend who had a rough go with ptsd and others dealing with loss. Also the suicide rate I find very troubling. There are so many issues.

In understand. Would you like to give me your email so I can send an overview of what we are doing, and you can tell me what reaches out for you? Thanks.
