Bob Woodruff Foundation Awards Second $100,000 for Jericho's Veterans Initiative

ReMIND.org, a Bob Woodruff Foundation initiative, has awarded its second $100,000 grant to Jericho Project for use in helping veterans from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan who sustained Traumatic Brain Injury and/or Post Traumatic Stress. Veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness roughly four times faster than veterans of the Vietnam War, within a few years of returning versus nine to twelve years for veterans returning to the States after Vietnam.
