One of the things I really enjoy about my fellowship is that I travel throughout my city and county. I have been able to see areas that I previously had never visited, despite having grown up here. In our efforts to end veteran homelessness in the county, we travel throughout the various service planning areas (spas) to find veterans in need and make connections with community resources.
While I know it is necessary to reach out to service providers and community partners, I really enjoy the street outreach the most. Crawling through brush to reach encampments and being able to get a veteran registered and enrolled with VA medical services is a great feeling. One I hope to repeat many times over.
