"Be a part of a team to serve
those who have served us"
MVP AmeriCorps, through TCAC, serves Veterans service communities and many non-profits throughout Tennessee, meeting the needs of veterans and their families. MVP is Volunteer TN funded.
MVP serves many surrounding counties. The AmeriCorps funded program is geared to helping veterans and their families who are homeless or on the verge of becoming homeless due to a lack of income, physical and/or mental health issues, disabilities, trauma, substance, and weak social networks.

- Connecting veterans and their families with housing assistance programs
