Military Jobs Landscape

The 2026 grants focus on health and mental health access rather than hiring alone, reflecting a shift toward post-service wellbeing.
Veterans seeking free, confidential mental and physical health services can contact the Returning Veterans Project, and those needing housing or assistance in Oregon or Southwest Washington can reach American Military Engagement Network. Mission 22 offers recovery coaching, virtual wellness courses, and family support resources to veterans and their families.
