Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $548,629 spent. Program "Search and Rescue":Search and Rescue is an outreach program that serves two groups of veterans and their families: those who are unsheltered and living on the streets, and those who are at risk of losing their homes. Our team locates unsheltered clients, provides them with food, outdoor gear, and other essentials, and connects them with the VA, housing agencies, and benefits application specialists to help them find permanent and stable housing. Our team also assists at-risk clients by providing case management, financial counseling, landlord mediation, and financial assistance to prevent eviction and homelessness. In FY25, the program served 360 veterans and 64 dependents through this program and provided $82,835 in financial assistance for rent and utilities.
  2. $209,751 spent. Program "Transitional Housing"Transitional housing program offers temporary shelter and supportive services to veterans and their families who were previously homeless or at risk of homelessness. The program aims to help the clients become independent and stable by providing them with case management, counseling, referrals, and other assistance. The program operates 4 properties with a total of 17 beds in Brevard County. In FY25, the program served 8 veterans and 2 dependents.
  3. $14,469 spent. Program "Post Traumatic Stress Awareness" Post Traumatic Stress Awareness (PTSA) program educates the public on Post Traumatic Stress, and provides creative therapy events for our veterans. We use media, publications, and events to raise awareness and reduce stigma about Post Traumatic Stress, and to inform the public about the resources and services available for veterans. We also organize arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and holiday-based activities for our veterans, to help them reduce stress and foster a sense of belonging. In FY25, the program published 20 articles on our website and social media to raise awareness of mental health issues, treatments and navigating veteran assistance programs, as well as conducted 7 creative therapy events.
