DISCLAIMER

Homeless To Independence Inc. is a 501©3 non-profit organization. We are self supporting and we do NOT receive any  government grant funding what-so-ever to pay bills for anyone in any situation. We do not give away money. We do not give out loans against any money.

This ministry is supported with generous financial donations that are used to help keep us functioning. Our purpose is to help supply individuals and families with personal needs such as food, toiletries, clothing, household items, furniture and baby/adult diapers/wipes both locally and to areas effected by disasters. At this time, we do not offer any shelter or transitional housing services. Again, we DO NOT pay any bills. We DO NOT pay any rents or mortgages.

If you are actually homeless, or about to be homeless or need emergency assistance of any kind, DIAL “211” from a land-line telephone. This will not work from a cell telephone. Tell the receiver your situation and what you need. They will give you information specific for the location you are currently in plus any referrals you may need.  They have the most up to the minute information for your specific area. Dialing “211” will get you help and much more info than this office can provide. Homeless to Independence wants you to have all the information you need to get through the situation you are in.

 

Don’t have a land-line telephone???  Go to your local police department, library, or house of worship and ask to use their land-line telephone. They may even make the call on your behalf.

For those of you looking for employment through-out the United States, District of Columbia or Puerto Rico, simply;

One hundred and fifty years ago today, President Lincoln signed a law establishing the first federal veterans’ facility for disabled Civil War veterans. This facility gave root to the Department of Veterans Affairs’ assistance programs.

Today, the VA offers many benefits and services to eligible veterans and connects our military service men and women with resources across the country. Share this information with a veteran you know, or an organization that helps veterans.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to inform all of you about our great nonprofit, Veterans Moving Forward. We provide Service Dogs to Veterans dealing with mental and/or physical challenges at no cost to the veteran or their family across the country. Through our services, VMF makes a meaningful difference in the lives of disabled veterans by facilitating their recovery and increasing their safety and independence within their homes and communities.
Our training takes two years, from an 8-week-old puppy to a mature service dog, with an average cost of $40,000 per service dog. The current Department of Veteran Affairs’ policy is to provide support dogs only to veterans with visual or hearing impairment, not dealing with mental challenges. Therefore we need donations to support our important mission.
A year ago, VMF placed Service Dog “Zamp” with Jim “Doc” Anderson, an Air Force veteran who suffered severely with PTSD and who attempted suicide three times. Jim served as a mass casualty officer. SD Zamp is named in honor and memory of Marine legend Louis Zamperini.
Jim says that having SD Zamp has been a life-altering experience. His entire attitude has changed providing him with a totally different outlook on life. They’re together 24/7, attending events, poker and bridge games at the Clubhouse. During Jim’s recent back surgery, SD Zamp rode in the ambulance and stayed in the hospital for four days.
Jim states that “Zamp is an incredibly special Service Dog and everyone who has meet him agrees – that he is special. Since he came into my life full-time, he has made a major difference in my life as witnessed by my wife, therapists, and psychiatrists all who agree that they have seen a change in me that they have not seen in the 20+ years that I have been in counseling. But all that has changed since Zamp entered my life. He is a stabilizing force in my life.”
Many other veterans like Jim need our help. Your donation and hopefully, becoming a monthly supporter, will ensure that we are able to support these veterans across the country.
For more information or to make that tax-deductible donation, please visit the Veterans Moving Forward website: www.vetsfwd.org. Also check out our Facebook page at https://lnkd.in/gdnnycr. And feel free to contact me at any time. Email: gsumner@vetsfwd.org. C: 703-595-8800. We would greatly appreciate having yours and your business’s support for our Service Dogs for Veteran Programs.

Keep informed and current on updates, opportunities, job postings and inside information to help navigate the federal hiring process, join the Veterans Federal Employment Collaborative (#VFEC) at https://lnkd.in/gYnZNmgP
Brock Young• FollowingMil-to-Fed Success Story | #Veterati Mentor | #DoDSkillBridge Alum | #OneMoreVeteranHired3d • 3 days ago
Veterans Employment Opportunity Act of 1998 (VEOA): What it is NOT is more important than what it IS.
Many transitioning Service Members are eligible for several special hiring authorities (SHA). Each one is unique, and it’s important to know what they are used for, as well as what their limitations are.
One SHA I have found people don’t truly understand is the VEOA.
The USAJobs definition of the VEOA is: “Service personnel separated after three or more years of continuous active service performed under honorable conditions, are eligible to apply to positions that otherwise may have only been available to current competitive service employees. In VEOA appointments, preference eligibles and Veterans are not given preference, but they are allowed to compete for job opportunities that are not offered to other external candidates.” (https://lnkd.in/gSDWtZ87
)
Okay, but what does that MEAN! For one, it means that even though active-duty Service Members aren’t technically considered “federal employees,” it allows them to compete for jobs that are only open to current or previous employees. On USAJobs, those are the jobs with the symbol below.
Some expectation management here; using the VEOA also typically means your resume will be referred, no matter what. Good, right? Not always.
Like many vets, seeing my resume “referred” was cool, but it also meant nothing told me my resume wasn’t anywhere near what the agency and HR professionals were looking for. So I kept applying and getting referred, and applying and getting referred, and applying and getting referred… and applying and getting referred…
I finally took the time to dig into my resume, take some webinars, talk to some mentors and HR professionals, and it was only THEN that I realized that the VEOA was nothing more than something that allowed me to compete with current/former federal employees.
It didn’t offer me any preference (beyond allowing me to compete) or entitle me to a job (which of course is right there in the VEOA verbiage on OPM’s site).
Using the VEOA still requires your resume to be on point, meet all of the qualifications required by the announcement and supplemental questionnaire, AND needs to show that you are the best candidate for the position. It is a competition after all.
So for those who keep getting referred (and have been using the VEOA), but haven’t been getting the interviews, this might be why.
Find a mentor. Have someone take a look at your resume, and don’t assume just because you’ve been getting referred, your resume is anywhere near the quality it needs to be to get you hired.
