Veterans: SUPPORT SUPPORT WestCare's Commitment to Individualized Care
A veteran, in the eyes of WestCare, is anyone who has served in the military, regardless of the duration. Men and women of diverse backgrounds, cultures, and ages, alongside their families, are revered for their invaluable service to the nation. We tailor our services to meet the unique needs of this esteemed population, recognizing the complex challenges they face. From post-traumatic stress disorder and substance abuse to joblessness, traumatic brain injury, homelessness, family discord, relational difficulties, and depression, veterans encounter a myriad of issues upon returning to ci- vilian life. We acknowledge the sacrifices made by these individuals and endeavors to give back by offering comprehensive services designed to address their needs and support their well-being. Recent data from the Department of Veteran's Affairs reveals that approximately 144,842 veterans experienced housing instability, spending nights in emergency shelters or transitional housing pro- grams. Irrespective of circumstances, no veteran should find themselves without a roof over their head after serving their country. In response to this troubling reality, we operate transitional liv- ing programs tailored to male and female veterans, providing safe and supportive environments for those in need. Veteran's Plaza, a 28-bed facility catering to male veterans, offers up to two years of housing coupled with individualized case management services to support each resident on their journey towards stability. Similarly, HomeFront extends housing support to female veterans and their children, ensuring a secure foundation for families requiring assistance. For immediate aid, WestCare collaborates with shelters such as Blanket Atlanta in Georgia and Turning Point in Florida, facilitating connections to vital services post-shelter stay.
