AUSV and Check-6 Foundation partnered back in April 2020 with the goal to help as many veterans who saw a significant decrease in income or loss of income completely, due to COVID-19.

Since April 2020  the Recovery Project has helped fund over 60 veteran households in need across the Nation.

WHAT IS COVID-19 RECOVERY PROJECT

We want to do everything we can to make sure the community of veterans we serve and their families have the support of all of us to get through the storm with dignity. The project will screen applications to verify and confirm that the individuals meet the hardship criteria we have set for those whom can benefit from our recovery project. 

​

While we want to help everyone who seeks assistance during this time of crisis, we need your support to ensure that we meet the needs of our community members who reach out to us for financial assistance.

WHO BENEFITS

Nearly one-fourth of the households are Asset-Limited, Income-Constrained, and Employed. IN SHORT: They have no savings to help in a time of crisis.

​

As a veterans advocacy organization we felt that it is our obligation to do our part in helping veterans who have lost income and were placed in financial hardships  due to the COVID-19  pandemic.

18 MILLION VETERANS IN THE U.S.

...comprising 7.1% of the population. Half of all U.S. veterans are aged 65 years or older. Among those between ages 18 to 64, 77% are in the labor force, actively employed or seeking work. The other 23% consist of students, and disabled, retired or unemployed veterans.

POVERTY

Post-9/11, World War II, and peacetime era Veterans have higher poverty rates than other periods of service.
