San Marcos-based nonprofit Wounded Warrior Homes was recognized for its efforts to help veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury get back on their feet, get jobs and become self-sufficient as they transition from military service to civilian life.
The nonprofit received a proclamation Tuesday from San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond, Chairman Nathan Fletcher and the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, declaring Feb. 9 “Wounded Warrior Homes Day” in honor of the nonprofit’s transitional care and counseling program, LIFE – Living Independently For Ever.
The program provides case management and individualized transition plans along with up to two years of transitional housing for veterans with PTSD or TBI.
