Timothy Pena has been working with veterans' outreach programs since April 2016 when he became homeless and referred to a Veterans Affairs Grant and Per Diem Transitional Program in Phoenix. In addition to being a resident for nearly two years, Tim also was the front desk clerk and coordinated the outreach program with 100 - 120 visits each month of veterans from shelters, camps, and sleeping in their cars.

The Forgotten Veteran Resource Guide focuses on providing access to transitional resources and service providers from military to civilian life, incarceration, and homelessness.

VETERANS RESOURCE GUIDE

It is hard to imagine all the moving parts to transitioning from one place to another (a new city), one situation to another (divorce), or from one completely different life to another (transition from the military or prison to civilian world).

Unlike other guides, the Veterans Resource Guide is specifically designed for the veteran transitioning from one life situation to another especially those transitioning from prison or homelessness and back into the community. But, like other guides, this resource guide covers both VA and non-VA sections. Please feel free to offer comments, suggestions, or ask questions.
