The purpose of Mo’s Heroes is to provide services to assist in reintegrating homeless veterans into meaningful employment within the labor force and to stimulate the development of effective service delivery systems that will address the complex problems facing homeless veterans.
Mo’s Heroes will provide an array of services utilizing a case management approach that directly assists homeless veterans, as well as provide critical linkages for a variety of supportive services available in our local community. Our program is “employment focused.” Veterans, and their families, receive the employment and training services they need in order to re-enter the labor force. Job placement, training, job development, career counseling, resume preparation, are among the services provided. Supportive services, such as: clothing; provision of or referral to temporary, transitional, and permanent housing; referral to medical and substance abuse treatment; and transportation assistance are also provided to meet the needs of this target group.
Our plan is to use an outreach component using veterans who themselves have experienced homelessness. In recent years, this successful technique has been used around the nation. It allows the programs to utilize formerly homeless veterans in various other positions where there is direct client contact, such as; counseling; peer coaching; intake; and follow-up services.
