Repairs include interior and exterior improvements. Volunteer Veterans, military personnel and their families understand the meaning of service better than anyone and can play a key role in shaping our communities. We invite our veteran community to join us through one of our the various volunteer opportunities available including: working on new homes, renovating and repairing rehabs, volunteering in our ReStore and serving on committees or special event teams. Veterans Advisory Council e Veterans Advisory Council (VAC) helps guide the outreach eorts of Habitat LA within the veteran community. Comprised of veterans and veteran support organizations, the VAC assists in the implementation of existing veteran focused programs and helps shape the direction of Habitat LA's veterans outreach initiative and is always seeking new members to be a part of the movement. Advocate Many veterans in Los Angeles County lack permanent housing. With the rising number of returning military personnel, the need for aordable housing options will continue to increase. Building more homes is not the only solution. Changes in legislative policies are equally important and we encourage our veterans partners to become advocates for change and let their voices be heard!
