This page is for the veterans and their families that are looking for information on what is available to help them in their transition from a
 correctional facility into the community.
I do hope that the information you find on this page will be helpful to you.

Please remember that you must ask for help before its given.
All Veterans and their dependents deserve the help that is out there for them.
This is a matter of pride to have this government pay back to each and every Veteran of this country for their service to this country!
Remember this is not a hand out...
This is your RIGHT!
