The local need in Baltimore

Thousands of veterans in Baltimore experience homelessness each year, with many struggling to access necessary resources. The city's neighborhoods, like Preakness and Upton, are particularly affected, showcasing a need for improved housing and mental health support. Additionally, gaps in VA healthcare often leave veterans without critical services, exacerbating issues such as PTSD and traumatic brain injuries. Many veterans also face unemployment, with a lack of access to reliable transportation making job searching even more challenging.
