OBSTACLES TO CONTINUED SUCCESS

Lack of access to available veterans support funds

Funding Gets Approved by U.S. Congress

States Approve Funding for Veterans

Then funding seems to disappear

Where is all the veterans support funding going?

To The Veterans? Or Those being paid to fund them?

WE NEED YOU
Funding Grants Sponsors Donors
Does this coalition of support agencies have the ability to assist us in obtaining the funding to continue carrying out our services and providing our facility to our veterans now?
