\"A<\/div><\/div>

More than a third of our 20 million veterans are struggling.
More than 40,000 are homeless.
More than 17 die by suicide every day (VA, 2023<\/a>).<\/h4><\/div>

THE CHALLENGE<\/h2><\/div>
Sometimes, war comes home.<\/em><\/h5>\n

Meanwhile, veterans, military members, and their families are under stress, coping with multiple deployments, uprooting to new duty stations, transitioning to civilian life, or facing financial challenges. Over 20,000 active duty service members rely on food stamps. The government can\u2019t solve these challenges alone. That\u2019s where we come in.<\/p>\n<\/div>

FACING THE CHALLENGE<\/h2><\/div>
While there are tens of thousands of resources available to those who serve and have served, finding and accessing them can be fraught with barriers.<\/span><\/em><\/h5>\n

COSF helps those in need navigate and access critical services by providing one-on-one support. Through our digital PATRIOTlink platform and our direct Case Coordination services, COSF connects veterans and caregivers to the people and resources they need to live full, healthy lives.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
