DSPII Waypoint

Since 2015, DSPII Waypoint (Discovering Soldiers' Potential "the Second Time Around") has provided a one-stop center for veterans and their families. Veteran services are brought together in one place, so families can handle their transition needs without running from office to office.

• Legal services: low- or no-cost help with issues like employment, child support, guardianship, and eviction through community partners.
• Financial counseling and coaching: tax preparation assistance, financial literacy, and personal money coaching.
• Education support: benefit applications, choosing schools and majors, and financial aid planning.
• Housing and emergency services: supportive services for veteran families moving into permanent housing, plus emergency help with food, clothing, and crisis needs.
