Please let us know if any of the links are no longer active and if you know of resources that we should add to the list. And always feel free to call or email for help finding resources, via the info on our contact page.

American Veterans Coalition

AVC believes that the best way to honor our veterans is by taking tangible actions that help to improve the quality of their everyday lives. They support veterans in their times of need by providing financial assistance toward living expenses, medical expenses, counseling expenses, temporary housing and transportation.

Monterey Veterans Transition Center

The mission of the Veterans Transition Center is to provide services for Monterey County’s homeless veterans and their families. By providing veterans with transitional housing, emergency services and case management programs, veterans will once again become employable, productive members of the community. VTC does not simply offer short term solutions to homelessness, it strives to better the lives of homeless veterans and aims to give them the tools they need to help themselves.
