CARITAS of Waco has received a grant from the Texas Veterans Commission to begin a case management program specifically for low-income veterans.
The purpose of the program is to provide guidance for veterans living at or near the poverty level through a process to help them overcome financial, emotional, educational, employment, and other barriers they face.
The program’s goal is to assist these veterans in moving out of poverty by becoming more self-sufficient and less reliant on emergency assistance programs.
CARITAS case management staff will offer a variety of direct and supportive service that veterans need to reach individual goals
The CARITAS Veterans Case Management Program will serve a veteran of any era and branch of service who received an honorable discharge and who resides in the six-county area (McLennan, Bosque, Falls, Freestone, Hill, and Limestone).
