- Employment Services: Job readiness training, resume writing, interview preparation, and job placement assistance tailored to veterans.
- Housing Support: Assistance with finding stable housing for veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless.
- Case Management: Personalized support from case managers who work with veterans to address challenges such as mental health, addiction, and accessing VA benefits.
- Peer Support: Veterans helping other veterans by providing mentorship and guidance through the transition process.
- Financial Assistance: Support for essential needs like rent, utilities, and food during the transition period.
The goal of the VETS program is to empower veterans to achieve long-term stability, both in their personal lives and careers.
