Show Notes

According to the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs, there are nearly 37,000 homeless veterans in America. In this episode, host JT speaks with Jatrice Martel Gaiter, executive vice president of external affairs for Volunteers of America, about innovative initiatives that are transforming the lives of those who've served our nation.

As one of the nation’s largest and most-comprehensive human service charities, the VOA is making a difference across generations, serving veterans from Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, the Korean War, and beyond. But, their latest efforts involve tiny homes, cabins, and repurposed buildings.

Along with her personal journey growing up in a military family, Jatrice shares inspiring stories of collaboration with partners and local communities to overcome obstacles and provide safe, stable housing for unhoused veterans. To learn more about the VOA's efforts, visit voa.org.
