The Programs will also include Wrap Around Services such as: Onsite mental Health Services, Domestic Violence resources, Accredited Job Training and Placement, Case Management, Anger Management, After School Programs, Parent Education Courses. The initiative aims to decrease the amount of homeless veterans in San Fernando Valley Ca and/or Los Angeles areas by providing Affordable Housing and rental assistance, on-site case management, on site-hydroponic garden and various homeopathic therapies such as talk therapy (one on one and groups), animal therapy, art therapy and more.
Describe how Los Angeles County will be different if your work is successful.
The project includes mental health services. If our work is successful, it would lower the amount of veterans incarcerated for unaddressed mental health concerns that could exacerbate sensitive mental health concerns. If our work is successful, Veterans will successfully integrate within society with the assistance of supportive services to address current needs and concerns that may be an underlying hindrance to successful outcomes for Veterans.
