Veterans’ Initiative
The Institute for Family Health is proud to announce the launch of a new “Veterans Initiative,” in partnership with Robin Hood and Single Stop USA. This initiative is dedicated to lifting veterans, military members and their families out of poverty by assisting them in accessing necessary government and Veteran benefits.
A new Veteran Case Manager has joined the Single Stop team at the Family Health Center of Harlem. The Veteran Case Manager will be working closely with all Veteran and Military service family members to determine which benefits they are eligible for, guiding them through the application process, and connecting them to other valuable resources and referral sources.
In addition to providing assistance and access to Public Benefits and services, the Veteran Case Manager will be specifically screening for Veteran Entitlements such as:
- VA insurance
- VA pension benefits
- Job training and employment programs
- Educational assistance for Veterans and their surviving dependents
- Unemployment compensation for ex-service members
- Other benefits for surviving Veteran family members
The Veteran Program case management services are open to all United States Veterans or military members and their immediate families (parents, spouses and children) at no cost regardless of service era or discharge status.
The Veteran Case Manager is available M-F:
- Monday: 8:30am – 4:30pm
- Tuesday: 9am – 5pm
- Wednesday: 9am – 5pm
- Thursday: 1pm – 8pm
- Friday: 9am – 5pm
Please call the Family Health Center of Harlem for more information at 212-423-4500.
You can also call the Veteran Case Manager directly at 212-423-4500 ext. 4547.
