Veterans
CNAS has led the way in producing cutting-edge research on challenges facing veterans, including a series of local, state, and regional veteran needs assessments. The MVS team published reports on veteran employment and entrepreneurship, and analyses of the federal, philanthropic, and collaborative “sea of goodwill” that exists to support veterans.
To expand on this foundation, the MVS program will delve more deeply into disparate needs minority veterans may experience and explore cutting edge opportunities for enhancing veterans overall economic outcomes.
