All sites using increased protective measures for intake, case management and temperature screening for RCV residents entering facilities. We are still taking in veterans. Hours are 8:30 – 5:30 daily.
Another project operated by the Veterans Enterprises of Texas is a specially designed center that provides work opportunities for veterans with disabilities that are not ready for mainstream employment. The VETS Work Center is a sheltered environment that promotes temporary work opportunities that will assist in the transformation of these veterans to reach their full potential and enter a mainstream work environment.
“VETS” is a member organization of the National Industries for the Severely Handicapped (NISH), also known as Ability-One. “VETS” seeks out contract opportunities with government and private industry to create work that will be conducive to the hiring of a workforce of disabled veterans.
The VETS Work Center’s primary work is “kitting,” where assembly of products or materials into a kit create an in-product. A great example is the current contract the Work Center is performing for the U.S. Army who awards retiring soldiers a beautiful commemorative box with a folded American flag, lapel pin, a DVD of information, and some auto decals for retirees. The VETS box manufacturing company (described above) produces the box, and the disabled veterans at the VETS Work Center fold the flags and assemble the pieces to create the commemorative retirement kit.
The Center, which was specifically designed for this fulfillment work, has great warehouse space, robust electrical and pneumatic systems for contracts requiring repetitive “bench work” (i.e. electrical soldering, pneumatic hand tools, etc.). The Work Center is an important element in the continuum of care offered to veterans by the American GI Forum National Veterans Outreach Program, and it provides disabled veterans a means of recovery with pride and dignity.
Interested customers are encouraged to contact the American GI Forum National Veterans Outreach Program for further information on the work of the VETS Work Center at (210) 223-4088. This non-profit entity is approved as a charitable organization under section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Service.

Many youth aging out of foster care and youth who grew up in abusive or neglectful homes are ill equipped to adjust to life on their own. When young adults 18-22 find themselves unprepared for the responsibilities of adulthood and without the skills necessary to live independently, they end up homeless, as drug addicts or in prostitution, and many end up in jail.
In order to combat this growing population of homeless young people, RMYA offers the TurningPoint Transitional Living program to help youth who have aged out of foster care as well as other homeless youth. These vulnerable young adults are given a safe place to live and are taught how to care for themselves so that they can become productive, empowered members of our community.
For more information about TurningPoint, please call (210) 349-3610.

The George Gervin Youth Center Basic Center Program assists homeless and/or runaway pregnant girls ages 13 to 17 looking to continue their education in a safe and supportive educational environment. It is licensed as a Foster Family Home by the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services.
The Basic Program provides therapeutic and supportive services and acts as a short- and long-term residential care facility to those whose needs are not adequately met in their current family structure or other shelters.
While we do our best to help every girl in need, no one agency can meet the variety of needs of all youth requiring shelter. When accepting youth for services, we consider the individual needs of each youth and how we can best meet her needs.
Under certain circumstances, we accept youth adjudicated as in need of supervision. However, we will not accept youth charged with violent crimes such as murder, rape, manslaughter, sexual assault, robbery, carjacking, kidnapping, or similar crimes. Adjudicated youth who have engaged in delinquent behavior primarily due to lack of supervision are most appropriate for care.
GGYC Basic Program receives referrals from schools, social services, Child Protective Services, churches, courts, juvenile probation departments, parents and guardians, and other child placing agencies.
The youth we admit should be:
• Pregnant females between 13 and 17 years old, regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, or need
• Designated as runaway or homeless caused by physical, substance, and/or mental abuse in the family home; a victim of economic deprivation (neglect, inconsistent provision of basic survival needs); face economic instability in the family
• Assigned to a Basic, Moderate, or Specialized Level of Care, as defined by the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services, if in the custody of Child Protective Services
• In possession of I.Q. test results greater than 70, unless there is reason to believe the scores are invalid due to emotional distress
• Free from physical or psychological disabilities that prohibit participation in daily activities at the Center
• Eligible to attend public school

Transition Centers are “one-stop shops” that offer case management, counseling, sheltering, and life skills training to at-risk young adults. Each transition center houses and partners with government and community organizations to ensure comprehensive, yet non-duplicated, services that help youth become independent and law-abiding adults. These centers are a resource to thousands of youth aging out of the foster care system or returning home from juvenile justice institutions.
