Mission United
Mission United is designed to coordinate existing services and provide additional resources to make it easier for veterans, active duty service members and their families to get the help they need when they need it.
About Mission United
One in four in Northeast Florida is a veteran, active duty service member or family of either. Mission United, a veteran-led United Way of Northeast Florida initiative, will help military veterans and their families acclimate back to civilian life by affording them the services and support they need. Operated through United Way 211, Mission United in Northeast Florida will provide navigation and care coordination at no charge to active duty military, veterans and their families. Mission United not only extends United Way’s current work serving the veteran and military population, it strengthens and expands these services by ensuring high efficiency and quality.
The Challenge
32,000
veterans are unemployed in the state of Florida.
Over 2,500
veterans in Florida are homeless.
23 Percent
of veterans in Duval County have a service-connected disability.
“While we do not necessarily lack veteran services here in Northeast Florida, we do lack coordination and awareness of these services in the veteran community. We believe Mission United and 211 can provide an easy, streamlined approach to serving our military and veteran families.”
