Northern Arizona Veterans Resource Center (NAVRC) will hold a Grand Opening on Monday, December 9, with an open house at 240 S. Montezuma Street, #101, in Prescott from 2-5 p.m. and a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 3 p.m. Congressman Paul Gosar will give the keynote address. The public is invited to join in the celebration, meet the Congressman, and learn about the issue of veteran homelessness. NAVRC is a division of Veterans Resource Centers of America, which has been serving veterans for 41 years. In Arizona, offices in Prescott, Flagstaff and Bullhead City opened on October 1st, with a mission of rapidly re-housing homeless veterans and preventing veterans from falling into homelessness. Case managers work closely with each veteran household (individual or family) to identify needs and goals, resulting in a comprehensive step-by-step plan to overcoming homelessness. NAVRC can often supplement this plan with temporary financial assistance, such as a check written to a landlord or utility company.
