Heroes To Hired Program
The Heroes to Hired (H2H) Program serves veterans and their spouses in the Washington, DC area, particularly those facing significant employment barriers, such as disabilities, minority status, or challenges re-entering the workforce. The program addresses critical gaps in existing services, including the need for specialized employment support tailored to veterans, better integration of mental health services for conditions like PTSD and TBI, and improved access to affordable childcare.
These gaps are particularly pressing due to the high cost of living, competitive job market, and the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the local economy.
