Veterans Rehabilitation Program (VRP)
The VRP is a program dedicated to our American Veterans and their families who are struggling with financial hardships, job stability and homelessness. This program is unlike other programs as this program has a four (4) simple step order that works!
A number of the persons running the program are Veterans who have experienced this program with the hardships included. They understand and know what dedication it takes to complete the program and what it takes to become a success! We are living proof, this program works!
Step 1:
Mentoring & Advocacy Partnership
MENTOR-ADVOCATE PARTNERSHIP
The Mentor-Advocate Partnership (coach), is a comprehensive support program for Veterans with a mission to encourage, express, activate and speak appropriate base dialogue through effective communication skills in relation to life and career enrichments.
This program provides each veteran student with a short term, weekly or bi-weekly goal settings, long term, bi-annual to annual goal settings and ascertaining personal goals with cross over goals of mentoring others, tutoring, advocacy, enrichment, leadership training, and scholarship/grant support services. This is a program set to assist the Veterans both in a self-advocacy and self-determination, individual and group “peer” mentoring atmospheres.
Step 2:
Government Training & Education
TAKE CHARGE TODAY
DG Training Institute is a training center set as a stimulus for new ideas, approaches for local programs and to promote effective program planning, financial management, and leadership skill mastering promoting suitable career choices, effectiveness and technical education as in integral part of the total education program for Veterans. One of the primary programs used is the award-winning professional development course called, "Take Charge Today" series, designed and orchestrated by Educators, for Educators from the University of Arizona. Take Charge Today provides a consistent framework for thinking through financial choices in order to improve well-being. Training courses cover various topics, however, emphasing on Annapolis – Personal Finance, Finding Funding and Stem Integration.
Step 3:
Government Job Placement Assistance
The purpose of the Government Job Placement Assistance is to help ensure the provision of a full range of employment and training service options are available to veterans everywhere through the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Since veterans are given priority of service status under the law, it is particularly important for LVERs and DVOPs to be connected with all veterans coming into the DG Institute. In addition, LVERs and DVOPs maintain up-to-date information about all the programs and services available to assist veterans at the federal, state, and local level.
We are currently seeking grant funding that will allow the Department of Labor (DOL) to provide Disabled Veteran's Outreach Program (DVOP) specialists and Local Veteran Employment Representatives (LVERs) at a One-Stop Career Center across each state.

Step 4:
Temporary Housing to Home Ownership
The Dymund Group's, Eden Estates Housing Improvement Program (EEHI) is a 2.5 year rehabilitation program set to introduce and provide short-term housing while teaching homeownership responsibility through economic literacy training, credit counseling, and savings plans while residing in temporary housing. These educational tools help to educate, prepare and obtain an opportunity to become a home owner.
EEHI offers only registered DG veterans, a “one stop” housing management service with workshops for the home buying process and educational seminars for applying for a mortgage. EEHI helps to make home ownership affordable for eligible veterans (and their family, where applicable), who are either homeless or in a severe financial hardship and can sometimes be directed to appropriate down payment assistance programs, subject to their lower income limits. Each registered veteran after obtaining their homeownership will not be allowed to borrow from, refinance or sale their home for the first ten (10) years for sustainability purposes.
