Communities across the U.S. are grappling with veterans’ reintegration issues as local communities become the new “home base” for veterans and their families. Pierce County is no different. JBLM is expected a normal transition of 6,000 service members out of the military each year for the next four years. The Dept. of Veterans Affairs has projected that nationwide an estimated 13,000 veterans per year who are leaving the service have a desire to locate in Washington through 2016. The proposed solution is a community-based coordinating entity with access to workforce and social services through community partnerships and outreach.
