Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Program (HVRP) Serving Employers
Strong relationships with employers are key to the HVRP mission to help veterans experiencing homelessness transition back into the workforce. HVRP grantees understand that hiring, developing, and retaining staff is the biggest challenge of any employer. Through outreach, employment services, and ongoing support, HVRP grantees help employers in their local communities find good candidates whose skills and preferences match available opportunities.
