Hey TriSec
What's your knowledge about various veterans' assistance programs around the country?
At work, I got a call from an elderly disabled veteran in Pennsylvania who needs some home repairs for his porch. He's not in an area that's covered by programs I currently know of.
I've been told by my director that we likely can't help him, and to give him some phone numbers for possible assistance, then close his file.
(That's not generally how I roll, so I'm sneaking around looking for other options before I make that call to him. Don't tell my boss! ;-) )

Honestly, reach out to some local Scout Troops - could be a service project if the repairs aren't too ambitious - we've done similar work up here.

Some local veteran's organizations might be able to help. Also, a carpenter's union local might have some leads or decide that it is a good project for their trainees.
