and stable housing for aging Veterans, a population that is expected to surge in the coming decades.
The Home Depot Foundation works to improve the homes and lives of U.S. Veterans, train skilled tradespeople to fill the labor gap and support communities impacted by natural disasters.
Since 2011, the Foundation has invested more than $550 million in Veteran causes and improved more than 65,000 Veteran homes and facilities. The Foundation has pledged to invest $750
million in Veteran causes by 2030 and $50 million in training the next generation of skilled tradespeople through the Path to Pro program. The Home Depot Foundation actively supports
initiatives that provide housing solutions, financial support, job training, counseling services and mental health resources for Veterans.

If you fall behind on your mortgage payments, your mortgage servicer (the company that handles collecting the money for your lender) can take your house to cover the money owed. This
process is called foreclosure. VA works with the borrower to avoid foreclosure, including providing financial counseling and, in some cases, direct intervention with a mortgage loan
servicer on the borrower’s behalf. VA provides housing grants for Veterans and service members with certain service-connected disabilities so they can buy or change a home to meet their
needs and live more independently. Changing a home might involve installing ramps or widening doorways.

VA MIRECC's provide for the improvement of the provision of health-care services and related counseling services to eligible veterans suffering from mental illness (especially mental
illness related to service-related conditions) through—
* the conduct of research (including research on improving mental health service facilities of the Department and on improving the delivery of mental health services by the Department);
* the education and training of health care personnel of the Department; and
* the development of improved models and systems for the furnishing of mental health services by the Department.
As part of the VISN 20 NW MIRECC mission to enhance access to mental health expertise, the NW MIRECC collaborates and consults with other MIRECCs and Centers of Excellence, as well as
with other VA, Department of Defense (DoD), Federal, State departments of Veterans Affairs, community agencies, and experts. The close geographic proximity (40 miles) of DoD Joint Base
Lewis-McChord/Madigan Army Medical Center to VAPSHCS has provided an exciting opportunity to develop innovative and productive research, education, and clinical care collaborations
with DoD personnel that address PTSD and its associated conditions in their early stages in active-duty Servicemembers.

. NW MIRECC research studies significantly contribute to advancements in our understanding of medical problems that lead to health improvements for Veterans and civilians alike. NW
MIRECC studies are conducted through clinical research and through translational research wherein teams of clinicians and scientists work side-by-side to characterize and model key
features of clinical problems and then translate the findings from scientific theory or animal models into practical applications for Veterans. NW MIRECC brings together complementary
research, education, and clinical programs from VAPSHCS and VAPORHCS. The collaborative approach to mental health research, education and treatment has had a profound impact on the
lives of Veterans.
