What they do

NOVA Veterans Associations Mission is Critical In That We Provide The One Thing The Elderly and Underserved Dont Have - Equitable Access to The Services They Need. We Are A Personal Comprehensive Case Management and Advocacy Service Which is Fundamentally Different Than A Resource Directory or A Navigation Service. We Work With Each Veteran So We Understand Their Needs Comprehensively Then Coordinate Services and Always Follow Up. Most Veteran Service Organizations Focus On Supporting Only A Single Immediate Need for Which The Veteran is Seeking Help. However Veterans Who Are In Poverty Disabled Elderly or Have Mental Health Challenges Have A Complex Set of Needs That Must Be Addressed to Improve Their Quality of Life. NOVA Veterans Support Holistically Over The Long-term Because Our Veterans Deserve More Than A Short-term Temporary Fix. We Provide Continuity of Support Through Multiple Partner Organizations Using Our Veteran Quality of Life Cycle Model.
