Register here: https://bit.ly/31TZ9HM Recently passed legislation have provided more housing-related protections to veterans.

There are also new limits to deposit amounts that can be charged to veterans. Learn more about these rights and services offered to veterans by Project Sentinel and Resources for Independent Living at our Online Veterans Roundtable. This webinar is open to all veterans and staff at organizations that serve our veterans. Register as soon as possible as attendance is limited to the first 100 attendees.
