One in five homeless adults is a veteran
What would life be like to never know where the next meal is coming from or where your next bed might be? What if you desperately wanted to earn a living but your skills weren't recognized in the corporate world? These are the challenges facing tens of thousands of homeless veterans every day. They have no one to turn to, so they go to the streets. The cycle of unemployment frequently begins with a lack of necessary job-readiness skills. In an effort to break this cycle, Volunteers of America of Greater Ohio provides job-readiness and training services to help veterans reach self-sufficiency through long-term employment. All of our programs are changing lives with the support of neighbors like you.
