Central Florida Ignores Veterans Needs

Help Military Veterans help themselves with access to basic needs and resources for reintegration with dignity.

Why is this important?

Homeless veterans in the Tampa Bay area have asked Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties to allow a place where they can wash clothes, shower, receive mail, get phone messages, access computers for email and job applications. Most County and City governments work with the VA or non-profits to offer these types of day drop-in services. Also known as Veteran Resource Centers, they help homeless veterans to access resources and get off the streets.
