> We served 2109 Veterans. That was higher than last year’s number of 1850.
> Out of the 2109 Veterans 360 self-admitted they were on the streets or
shelters while 303 self-admitted they were in a Transitional program. I don’t
have the exact numbers but this year was lower than last.
> 1,204 Veterans registered and received legal services. *Personal Note: I run
Community Services for the Courts at StandDown and it was very rewarding
to see Veterans have their lives changed in a matter of hours.

Watson, Toney Black, Selene Romero, and Chuck Ashby for not only
representing CC MANA House at StandDown but being the ONLY Housing

who came through.
