The list of sufficiently robust veteran collaborations around the country continues to grow. This is great news, as they can play an incredibly valuable role in ensuring the successful transition of veterans to local communities. Click on this link or the picture above for the updated list. “What is a veteran collaborative?” you ask. Well…

“Veteran collaborations are private, non-profit organizations that exist to bring veterans, agencies, organizations, and community members together on a local basis in an atmosphere of mutual support to systemically solve issues that each could not address alone. Most of them offer support in areas such as employment, education, healthcare, housing, wellness, and family support. They exist in recognition of the fact that federal support for helping veterans effectively settle in local areas is lacking, and there is either (1) a lack of support resources in some communities or (2) an overabundance of support resources in some communities (referred to as the ‘sea of goodwill’), leading to confusion, apathy, and unsought support. When veterans in-process in the military, they do so through a military one-stop processing center that took care of all their needs: ID cards, benefits, housing, finance, transportation, travel, claims, etc. These in-processing centers did it all. Think of these veteran collaborations as a veteran’s one-stop in-processing center in their new community. Ideally, collaborators are some of the first resources veterans seek out in their local community.”
