U.S. Senator Roger Marshall announced that the Workforce Alliance Center of South Central Kansas will receive $500,000 from the U.S. Department of Labor to support homeless veterans' reintegration efforts.
Senator Marshall emphasized the importance of supporting veterans: “As a veteran myself, I believe that our nation should do all it can to support those who have served their country,” said Senator Marshall. “As Kansas and the Wichita community continue to develop programs and opportunities to help homeless individuals learn skills and gain employment, the Workforce Alliance’s focus on veterans will provide unique services for members of that community. The targeted service area of the Workforce Center faces unique challenges, including a poverty and violent crime rate that is greater than the national average.”
The funding comes through several Department of Labor initiatives, including the Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Program (HVRP), Incarcerated Veterans’ Transition Program (IVTP), and the Homeless Women Veterans and Homeless Veterans with Children Reintegration Grant Program (HWVHVWC). These grants are intended to help veterans in South Central Kansas overcome barriers and re-enter the workforce.
