An estimated 500 Native American Veterans are expected to benefit from housing and supportive services provided under the first-ever Tribal HUD-VASH program, which launched in early January 2016.
“We are proud to be a part of the 100 Million Healthier Lives effort,” said VA Secretary Robert A. McDonald. “Veterans benefit when they have government working collaboratively with their state and local governments along with community and non-profit organizations. We are happy to do everything that we can to help reach the goal of a healthy lifestyle for our Veterans by 2020, if not before.”
The National Disabled Veteran Business Council's Union Carpenters Apprenticeships program helps Veterans make a decent living and own their own homes.
