We help you to establish ties with the V. A. for all of your needs. Need a job, that's why we are here to help you. This could be the very start that you need to regain what you have lost. We are in constant touch with different agencies in the Quad Cities area to work with you and to receive services that may not be provided elsewhere. If you are a serious veteran who wants the help mentioned, this home is your start. Not a regimental program, but a home with other veterans who are family and you are not just a client."
