Financial security for thriving communities

Military families face the same economic pressures as everyone else — rising costs, housing, child care. They also face other challenges unique to service, like frequent relocations and deployments. The financial stakes are high, and even more so for younger enlisted families and recently separated veterans.

The 12 months after separating are particularly critical. Income drops, benefits change and new responsibilities collide with financial uncertainty. Plus, the added costs of relocation, inconsistent access to affordable child care and other economic shocks can derail even the best-laid plans.
