Veteran’s Housing Rehabilitation Program

Veteran’s Housing and Rehabilitation Program is a new initiative launched in September 2023 by Family & Community Services Inc (F&CS) in partnership with Ride with Valor (RWV). Made possible through a competitive HUD grant, this program addresses critical home repair needs for low-income veterans who own their homes, marking a significant step forward in our commitment to supporting those who have served our country.

Senior Support Action Group

Being homebound can be an isolating experience to say the least, and we are hoping to alleviate senior loneliness and challenges presented by being homebound. The Senior Support Action Group aims to bring both physical and mental wellness to each homebound senior we serve.
