Kelsey Aikens, Director of Social Services for Battle Borne, joins the Lehigh Valley with Love Podcast to discuss the housing gap facing women veterans in the Lehigh Valley.
Women veterans experiencing a housing crisis can find themselves caught between general shelters that may not understand veteran-specific needs and veteran programs that were not designed around women, children or families.
Kelsey discusses Battle Borne’s effort to expand transitional housing for women veterans and their families, her own experience returning from deployment during COVID, and how the organization connects veterans with housing, benefits, mental health care and other community resources.
