Veterans Multi-Service Center

About Veterans Multi-Service Center

ARE YOU HOMELESS OR AT RISK OF BECOMING HOMELESS?

We help hundreds of Veteran families each year move into their own housing and access benefits, employment, and much more.

The Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program provides comprehensive supportive services to low-income Veterans who are currently experiencing homelessness or are at-risk of losing their leased homes.

We provide eligible Veteran households with outreach, assessment, case management, advocacy, and assistance in obtaining VA and other benefits, which may include housing counseling, legal support, credit repair, financial planning services, and time-limited, temporary financial assistance.

There are no costs to access our programs, and we may be able to help you obtain the documents you need to apply. Contact us to apply for services and to learn more.

Are you a Veteran who is unemployed or Underemployed and honorably discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable?

We assist and support Veterans with:

• Career Coaching:  We support veterans to discover what they aspire to be as they enter the civilian workforce.  Did you dislike what you did in the military?  That’s ok!  Our Employment Specialists review your experience and help you to determine realistic and attainable goals.  You can take ownership of your career path, and we will work with you to find the right role.
• Resume Building:  We can help create, edit, and provide feedback, translating your military work experience into a clear and concise resume that every hiring manager will appreciate.
• Employment Referrals:  We have established relationships with regional small and mid-size companies and trade unions in the greater Philadelphia area, as well as the suburban and rural counties that we serve, helping them to recognize the value and benefit of hiring veterans.  We are connected to regional Fortune 500 companies who are also recruiting veterans.  In short – VMC is the go-to resource for employers who are actively recruiting veterans.
• Expertise and Training:  VMC offers trainings that result in certification, such as ServSafe: ideal for anyone pursuing a career in food service/hospitality.  Forklift certification – perfect for those looking for employment in warehouse or distribution centers.  We also offer Hazardous Waste Removal certifications – an industry on the rise in Pennsylvania.

For that, please reach out to us at 302-660-0763

Are you a Veteran who needs help with VA?

Our Veteran Service Officers (VSO) are nationally accredited to counsel and assist Veterans and their families with service-connected disability claims, VA pension claims, Veteran burial benefits, education benefits, home loan guarantees, healthcare eligibility, and appeals within Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey.

Our Veteran Service Officers hold an in-depth knowledge of the Veterans Affairs (VA) compensation and entitlement process and are available to assist Veterans with completing required federal paperwork applications and obtaining documents needed.  Our VSOs work one-on-one with Veterans to establish a strong working relationship and provide support while guiding them through the process of filing.
