With research showing that Veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) face significant barriers to employment, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and several state, city and nonprofit organizations recently created a first-of-its-kind 'Pay for-Success' project to improve employment outcomes for such Veterans. The Veterans Coordinated Approach to Recovery and Employment (Veterans CARE) project will serve 480 Veterans over three years in New York City; Boston and Brockton, Massachusetts; and Central and Western Massachusetts. For more information about the Veterans CARE project, including quotes from project partners and a fact sheet, visit the Social Finance website.
