Veteran Families
Alameda County Coalition of Supportive Services for Veterans & Family
Enhancing housing stability for our Military Veterans and their families
Operation Dignity is a part of a coalition of community based agencies with multi-disciplinary teams of dedicated providers: many of which are themselves combat Veterans and/or formerly homeless.
Our service coalition strives to create agency relationships that are person-centered, allowing you to define your own family structure and service needs.
We are funded to help those most in need: Veteran households with low incomes, or those who are currently or have previously experienced homelessness.
Our goal is to help the family track environmental factors and generate positive change and services to promote housing stability.
