OPERATION HOMELESS
VETERANS
General Information
According to the VA, "permanent, stable housing is the benchmark of efforts to end homelessness among veterans...employment can be a key element in helping veterans climb out of homelessness or avoid it all together." The VA's efforts to end homelessness amongst veterans are seen in programs such as the Homeless Veterans Community Employment Service. Community Employment Coordinators are a vital part of this program. Find out more information below or by visiting this tab.
Community Employment Coordinators
Community Event Coordinators (CECs) are highly skilled professionals that help veterans find careers that align with their skills and experience. Veterans who are eager to begin work immediately can also be referred to CECs who are able to help them find job openings. Homeless veterans have increased chances of landing a successful, lasting job when assisted by these coordinators. Lastly, CECs can provide veterans with links and connections to resources that they may need, such as housing or medical care.
