Veterans on the Rise Inc.’s case management approach addresses veteran needs holistically by providing supportive services from health and wellness, mental health, transportation, life skills, employment training to legal advice. This comprehensive methodology earned Veterans on the Rise, Inc. notable awards from the Department of Veterans Affairs, as well as from State and Local entities. Our commitment to helping veterans goes much further than providing transitional housing. We provide them with comforting living environments, and we invest in life enhancing, empower activities that assist veterans in rebuilding their lives, readjusting to their communities, regaining their dignity, and rebalancing their lives. Simply put, we empower veterans to save their own lives. Dealing with any amount of time as a homeless person, means prolonged separation from traditional support systems such as family and close friends. It means that needs for occupational training and mental or physical injuries sustained in combat are not being met. Any period of homeless has a dramatic affect on veterans’ personalities, self-esteem and ability to function in civilian society. Without adequate help many become at high risk for substance abuse and PTSD. When we combine this fact with the fact that many veteran obtain occupational training skills that do not transfer into the civilian environment, the need for support Is great. We ask you to join us, if you agree that we owe those men and women served, and are often forgotten upon leaving active duty and reserve statuses. You can contribute to this cause by providing: money, time, goods or services.
