Housing, work, and support—with a path forward.

These are external U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs resources. Eligibility and provider availability depend on location and individual assessment. Hotel nights, deposits, rent, utilities, furnishings, transportation, and Home for a Hero are not advertised as available from Vetted Patriots until funding, geography, eligibility, staffing, and approval are documented.

Jobs & Training

Official starting points for vocational rehabilitation, training, and veteran employment.

Explore VA Veteran Readiness and Employment (Chapter 31) for qualifying Veterans and service members with service-connected disabilities.
Open the VA careers and employment hub for broader career, training, and job-search resources.

These are external U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs resources. Program eligibility varies and VA makes entitlement decisions. Boots, transit passes, license fees, tools, mentorship, and placements are not promised by Vetted Patriots.

Peer & Family Support

Vetted Patriots has hosted ongoing online peer-support groups for more than four years and currently holds three meetings each week. Veterans and families can also find VA, Vet Center, caregiver, licensed-counselor, and scam-protection resources.

These meetings provide peer connection, not clinical care. Vetted Patriots is not a clinic, crisis line, or licensed counseling provider.

Open peer and family support

Proposed pilot — not launched or funded

A 90-day opportunity pilot.

The planning concept is intentionally small: test whether clearly defined, verified transition support can remove a practical barrier between a veteran and a stable work or training step.

Tentative planning amount: $2,500. This figure is not spending authority, available aid, an open application, or committed funding.

Designed for the future vision Proposed

Campus-scale programs come later.

Village 5, partner-staffed counseling rooms, a trades hub, teaching kitchen and agriculture, resilient power and water, and disaster-support capacity remain proposed St. Croix concepts—not active services.

Explore the future vision

Coordination supports the work; it is not the program.

PatriotChat may support future coordination among authorized participants. It is not housing, clinical care, emergency response, a referral network, or proof of impact. VETS Coin is not a charitable donation pathway and is not part of these program claims.
