The local need in Stockton
In Stockton, thousands of veterans struggle with homelessness and inadequate access to healthcare and mental health support. Many reside in neighborhoods like Miracle Mile and the Downtown area, where resources are scarce. The lack of affordable housing and the high rates of PTSD and TBI among veterans contribute to this ongoing crisis. The community needs to step up to address these pressing issues and ensure that veterans receive the assistance they deserve.
