Challenge America: Resources for Transitioning Military and their Families

Challenge America answers the question of “When it happens, where do we go?” for returning military and their families by connecting to resources at the local zip code level. We work with communities across the United States, linking new and existing services and supporting the development of recreational, occupational and housing programs to better serve those who have sacrificed so much for us.

Returning warriors and military families are inundated with information from both the public and private sectors. Bridging between the two sectors and providing a user-friendly portal and tool to access and retrieve relevant and pertinent information – information that is truly important to the user – is the key to serving the needs of the warrior population effectively. This will be accomplished by:

• Making information about quality-of-life programs readily accessible via a standardized database searchable by zip code on an easily navigable website
• Expanding the geographic reach of existing quality-of-life initiatives.
• Facilitating conferences, seminars, and publications with a focus on best practices and making relevant and cutting-edge information available to those who need it.
• Challenging the American public to help connect military members and their families to opportunities across the country and in their own backyards. 

Through its efforts, Challenge America will create the model for providing services to returning military members and their families for generations to come.
