Deputy Assistant Secretary Policy Julian Purdy visited Goodwill Industries of Southeastern Louisiana in New Orleans. The Vice President of Goodwill Services, Scottie Leblanc, explained that they have been operational as a Homeless Veteran Reintegration Program grantee for just over two weeks and they've already provided services to 17 Veterans utilizing the new resources and their existing programs to return them to meaningful employment. Deputy Assistant Secretary Policy, Julian Purdy also visited the Jefferson Parrish American Job Center where he met with Jobs for Veteran State Grant staff Dwight Elmore (DVOP) and Fred Wallace (LVER) as well as the LA state JVSG director and the Jefferson Parrish AJC Director. Great job to the Louisiana team for planning the visit and to Louisiana Assistant State Director Jonathan Narcisse for accompanying him!

Assistant Directors for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Karen Frias and John Lewis, attended the recent signing of the HERO Act by Governor Maura Healey. The HERO Act is the most comprehensive veterans’ benefits package in Massachusetts' history. It aims to increase benefits and opportunities, modernize services, and promote inclusivity for Massachusetts veterans. Great job to our Boston-based VETS team who worked with the Massachusetts Executive Office of Veterans Services (EOVS) to provide feedback on the bill regarding veterans' employment and training opportunities!
