Veteran Housing Services
The future plans of RTTS is to build upon the work already accomplished in previous years working with veterans. The Founders and many of the Board Members are involved with working closely with veterans in a life support capacity. RTTS services and programs, i.e., Veteran Home Services, The Entrepreneur Program, Housing Program, Training and Mentoring Programs, that have been developed saves and sustains the lives of many veterans.
Founders, Board Members and staff use their contacts to provide training for a skilled veteran workforce. Training that help remedy the needs of the homeless veterans and their family members. Most of the training are in areas that help in the rehabilitation of housing. Houses that veterans will occupy. They would also carry those skill-sets to generate income to sustain themselves and their families. The idea is to turn abandon properties into adequate housing for veterans. We need your help and your support with these and other efforts.
