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.
Selected as one of five organizations nationwide to receive this prestigious grant, F&CS joined forces with RWV, an organization dedicated to supporting veterans and their families. Together, we are proud to leverage our collective expertise to restore hope, dignity, and stability for our veteran population. Through the Veteran’s Housing and Rehabilitation Program, we are not just repairing homes; we are honoring and supporting those who have bravely served, ensuring they receive the care and assistance they rightfully deserve. Join us in making a meaningful difference in the lives of our veterans.
