Stronger communities. One Veteran at a time.
Veterans Bridge Home connects Veterans and their families, in any state of transition, to the community. Through our network of partners, we help Veterans navigate employment, create social connections, and settle their families. We look at the whole Veteran and connect them to the resources needed to be successful and thriving leaders in our community.
After the regimen and sacrifice of military duty, transition to civilian life can be challenging as Veterans reunite with their families, pursue a new profession, locate services which were all on base, and build a social network. In some cases, they also recover from wounds and also pursue further education. Veterans Bridge Home serves as an entry point for Veterans who don't know where to turn to access support and services. Because Veterans return home to a civilian community and not to federal agencies or bureaucracies, each community must reach out and actively assist in the reintegration process alongside federal agencies such as the Veterans Administration.
The Carolinas have the opportunity and privilege to help bring our nation's warriors and their families home with the same energy and commitment that our Veterans have displayed in serving our nation. In so doing, ours will serve as a leader to inform other communities that wish to create more welcoming and livable communities for returning Veterans and their families.
The Outcome:
Veterans and their families are able to successfully pursue their dreams of building a relevant and productive life in the Carolinas. Our community benefits from their leadership and commitment and the drain on community resources is reduced.
VBH is the one-stop shop for Veterans in the Carolinas and the surrounding communities experiencing transition. Without VBH, the civilian community can feel overwhelming and confusing to a Veteran just leaving the armed forces. With VBH, Veterans in transition have a single point of contact to help navigate this very important life event, in a compassionate, low-pressure and productive manner.
The number of Veteran and Military families VBH connects and serves continues to grow each year, highlighting the need in our community. VBH continues to lead the community towards making Charlotte a national model of public-private partnerships that assist in transitioning our nation's returning Veterans.
For these efforts, Veterans Bridge Home has been recognized by the Joint Chiefs of Staff Office, US Airways, Gary Sinise Foundation and most recently George W. Bush Institute.
