Jeanice Lee talks with Frank J. Abney Jr., Founder and President of Relief Foundation for Veterans, serving the Coachella Valley and beyond, providing housing support, mental health resources, and benefits navigation to veterans. Abney Jr. discusses the wraparound services the organization provides, including housing placement, disability claims assistance, credit repair, job transition help, and ongoing mental health support. Abney Jr. also shares the organization’s mission to expand nationwide, its twice monthly virtual mental health meetings held the first and third Tuesdays, and future plans for a centralized veteran resource facility offering services under one roof. One powerful story highlights how a simple mobile haircut helped a homeless veteran regain confidence and later join the organization’s board. (ReliefForVets.org)
