Jerry Ambrose Veterans Council of Mohave County Wins Heart of a Champion Award
The Jerry Ambrose Veterans Council (JAVC) of Mohave County was awarded the Heart of a Champion award for their dedication to helping veterans and their families. JAVC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization in Kingman, Arizona, whose mission is to “strengthen veterans and their families through a variety of services, programs, education, and hope.”
JAVC Provides Resources to Veterans in Need
JAVC provides a range of resources to veterans in need, including transitional “HAND UP” housing for homeless veterans, assistance with heating propane and basic appliances, and pre-paid cell phones for emergencies and job searches. They also offer resources such as help with manipulating the VA, medical resources, job training and search, and more.
GEO Group Builds Tiny Homes for Veterans
During a tour of the JAVC facility, two tiny homes were showcased. The homes are built by the GEO Group, a correctional facility in Golden Valley, Arizona. The GEO Group builds the homes for the cost of the materials and donates their labor. The tiny homes are built specifically for the use of veterans in transition.
