Programs

Military Assistance Response Program

This program assists veterans or service members who are facing temporary financial hardships.  We assist in paying essential bills as a result of a military service-related incident.  Our goal is to improve the quality of life to create a foundation for long term stability.

Career Transition

This program provides individuals with tools and resources to better prepare them for the hiring process and refers qualified candidates to corporate organizations with open positions of employment specific to their skill sets.

Additionally, this program helps pay an individual’s essential expenses while they train for a new job or career.

The Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (“HVRP”)

This grant program is an employment-focused program of the U.S. Department of Labor. As an HVRP grantee, USA Cares provides job training, case management, and placement services to connect homeless veterans with local employers in 65 Kentucky counties and to achieve meaningful employment. To address the complex problems facing homeless veterans, USA Cares also works with public and private partners at all levels (federal, state and local) to provide supportive services and access to housing.

Financial Education & Empowerment Program

As a part of the application process, USA Cares incorporated The Financial Education & Empowerment Program to provide support to military families who are facing financial difficulty. Our hope is to arm military families with the tools they need to be prepared when the unexpected happens.
