Basic Needs Emergency Assistance: With an initial $100,000 funding from the Rockefeller Foundation, $10,000 from Blackstone and thousands of dollars from several family foundations, we work with organizations and individuals to provide emergency assistance grants to assist with mortgage/ rent payments, utilities, car repair, or childcare. The goal is to give veterans who are in crisis, a “hand up” not a hand-out, in their journey to successfully reintegrate back into their communities. We also connect them with resources and organizations that help them with budgeting, finding food assistance, and more.
