Summary As the post-9/11 wars are brought to a close and the services draw down, this study examines the struggles that some veterans are confronting in adjusting to civilian life as well as the service related issues some suffer later in life. The report focuses on the diverse challenges facing veterans in 12 states and communities that account for nearly one-third of all veterans nationwide. They report on the specific challenges of mental health care, employment, housing, family support, reintegration and legal matters with which veterans in the region are contending and propose steps to address them. Among their recommendations, Mr. Carter and Ms. Kidder urge private philanthropists, as well as public funders, to encourage communities to build collaboration and coordination mechanisms that allocate increasingly scarce resources efficiently and effectively
