My name is Junior Silva and I'm an Army Combat Veteran. What I need help doing is raising funds to create a system of group homes to help house homeless veterans. I've seen and spoken with displaced veterans and can understand how easy it is to be in their situation being a veteran myself. Yes, there are shelters in the community that provide housing but, they're constantly overbooked and they don't provide the security and capability of each veteran having their own room. Out of the group home we would help them find jobs through a local staffing agency that has already agreed to work with us. For job preparation we would provide them with a complete makeover that a hair saloon has agreed to help with and we would take them shopping to find suitable clothes for interviews. We would also provide transportation through the group home. The transportation won't be just to their medical appointments but, to anywhere they would like to go i.e. grocery shopping or jobs. What I'm asking of all of you is simply to support those who have served and are willing to take those steps to improve their lives.
