About the Program
Mission United unites our community and pre-existing programs to create a comprehensive system of care that positively impacts the lives of Veterans and their families in Central Florida.
By convening stakeholders and services, Mission United has created a centralized point of entry for Veterans and their families to access services. Through fostering an environment for collaboration and communication among community support networks, Mission United streamlines the navigation and service delivery in our community. Mission United is focused on creating systemic change in the areas of education, employment, and legal services for veterans.
