Local Service Providers to Veterans in Tillamook County to meet September 10th

Community Action Resource Enterprises is  a part of the NW Oregon Veterans Consortium and a recipient of the Supportive Services to Veterans Families Grant.  As part of the planning process , CARE is inviting local service providers, veterans advocates and interested community members to come together to begin to look at the local system of services for veterans and specifically to begin some very targeted outreach to potentially eligible participants to serve with the grant.  The grant provides housing support and case managment to veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.


The grant requires a very aggressive start with intakes on 7-10 veterans in the first month, and 9 eligible veterans enrolled by the end of the third month.  If CARE is to be successful in this effort in Tillamook County, help will be needed to locate and encourage veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness to come into CARE to be screened. 

The first meeting will be held on September 10th from 4 to 6pm in the Carl Rawe Conference Room at Tillamook PUD, 1115 Pacific Avenue in Tillamook.
