DLC has worked with Veterans Place since 2021.

“The workforce development program by Veterans Place is focused on helping veterans gain job training and gainful long-term employment in the community so they can sustain themselves on a whole and fulfill their lives,” Mark Wechsler, Chairman of Veterans Place said.

Wechsler said the Pittsburgh area has the third-largest homeless veteran population in the United States.
