Join the Home Builders Institute on its first quarterly resource day for transitioning military servicemembers, veterans and dependent spouses on Thursday, May 16, 2019.

This free event has been specifically developed for all veterans and transitioning servicemembers to meet with local organizations offering resources and services available within the community. This day will include resources and information on benefits, counseling, education, employment and job training, legal and financial services, small business startup, and much more. Each organization will have the opportunity to talk about what they have to offer and connect with our current and past students.
