FIRST STOP VETERANS EMPOWERMENT CENTER

A cornerstone of the Village of Valor is the First Stop Empowerment Center which provides an extensive service package which is available to all residents.

Stand Down, an initiative of Faith, Hope, Love, Charity, Inc. (FHLC), will be the lead service provider at the Village of Valor. Stand Down has provided services for Palm Beach County Veterans since 1994.

This one-stop resource center will assist Veterans/residents, and their families by providing emergency financial aid, VA/SSA benefit information, employment assistance, job referrals and more.

Vocational training is an important element of the service program and traditional classroom space with modern technology will be provided onsite. It is anticipated that graduates from the Vocational Training Program will staff the facilities, ground maintenance, and security services on the campus. Other job opportunities will be provided through partnerships in the community.
