The Recovery Guide is built for the veteran standing at ground zero — overwhelmed, facing homelessness, joblessness, or the loss of everything familiar — and ready to rebuild one step at a time. It’s a clear, structured path from immediate crisis to lasting prosperity, beginning with urgent needs like safety and securing a place to sleep tonight. From there, it guides you through regaining stability, starting your own business, and ultimately creating sustainable financial success. Every phase is broken down into exact actions, where to go, who to contact, and what to say, backed by trusted, up-to-date links and phone numbers you can rely on right now. While it’s designed to meet the needs of those in the toughest situations, it’s equally valuable for any veteran — at any stability level — who wants practical, proven resources to improve their circumstances and achieve greater security.
