What we help with

Tell us what you need. We handle the connecting.

These are the same choices you'll see on the intake form. Pick what fits โ€” or pick "not sure" and we'll figure it out together on the phone.

What Happens When You Reach Out  ·  Five Steps
01 / 05 · The Review
A person reads your intake โ€” not a queue.
A team member reads what you sent. Your request lands with a human being from the very first step.
02 / 05 · The Call
We reach out to you.
By phone or email, to understand what you actually need before anything gets assigned.
03 / 05 · The Connection
We connect you to what fits.
Benefits navigation, transitional housing, workforce, legal, or other trusted resources โ€” whichever fits your situation.
04 / 05 · The Paperwork
DD-214 missing? We help you get it.
We securely collect a copy of your DD-214 and any disability documentation. Don't have your DD-214? We help you get it โ€” that's an option right on the form.
05 / 05 · The Promise
Your referral is tracked to the end.
So you don't fall through the cracks. That's the promise.

The Film

Watch it work.

Transitional housing is one of the doors that opens โ€” cottages for veterans and families getting back on their feet.

What it costs

The three-line version.

โœ…Free โ€” always+

Intake, assessment, benefits navigation, resource referral and connection to partner services carry no charge to the veteran or the family.

โ„น๏ธSome structured programs may carry a fee+

Certain bootcamps, subscriptions and specialized training tracks. Where they do, it is disclosed up front โ€” in writing, before you enroll.

๐Ÿ“ŠAny fee is set on a sliding scale+

Based on household income. Your case manager applies it โ€” you don't calculate anything. You receive the amount in writing and decide before anything starts. Declining costs you nothing.

What we will never do

We will not charge for benefits navigation. We will not bill you after the fact for a service you were told was free. We will not make ability to pay a condition of intake, assessment or referral. A veteran who cannot pay is not turned away from the mission.
