Launched in 2018, Veterans Coordinated Approach to Recovery and Employment (Veterans CARE) was the first Pay for Success project to explicitly focus on supporting veterans. Despite challenges related to Covid-19, the project saw sustained, strong veteran employment outcomes. Beginning in October 2021, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts funded a 15-month extension of Veterans CARE. The extension will enable Veterans CARE to scale its impact, extend Individual Placement and Support service delivery, and benefit more veterans.
