from American Viewpoints · host Gretchen Smith

Code of Vets is a non profit that provides emergency funding to veterans who are at risk of eviction and/or have other immediate financial needs. Those needs could include utility payments to avoid shutoff, auto repairs, or money for groceries. Gretchen Smith explains how the organization vets the applicants and quickly raises the funds to meet the immediate physical needs online, mostly through Twitter. She also discusses why veterans are often in need of help once they return to civilian life.
