Description
Join us for an insightful and comprehensive webinar dedicated to addressing the economic stability of service members, Veterans, and their families (SMVF). According to the Blue Star Families Annual Survey, nearly 30% of non-retired Post 9/11 veterans reported unmet needs related to employment and career development and 20% reported needs regarding housing services. Additional economic challenges mentioned were topics such as food insecurity, childcare, license portability and employment for spouses. In general, economic stability is an issue not only for those who served but also those who are currently serving. This session will explore critical areas such as employment opportunities, income supports, SSI/SSDI, Outreach, Access, and Recovery (SOAR) for Veterans, and housing solutions, providing valuable information and resources to support maintaining or achieving economic stability among the SMVF community. An opportunity for Q&A will follow the presentations, providing you with the opportunity to engage directly with the subject-matter experts. This webinar will be followed by a learning community series exploring each of these topics in greater detail. If you are interested, you can get further information via upcoming issues of our monthly “Topics in the News” or from our website’s Upcoming Events page. • Recognize the critical role of employment, income support, and housing in achieving comprehensive economic stability and well-being for SMVF • Learn about tools for translating military skills and employment resources for SMVF • Identify resources and tools for guidance and supports to assist in making informed financial decisions • Learn about different homeless and housing resources and programs, as well as SOAR for Veterans
