MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Operation Stand Down Tennessee's mission is to provide and connect Veterans and their families with comprehensive resources focused on transition, employment, housing, benefits, peer engagement, volunteerism and connection to the community. As the state’s only recognized Veterans Service Center, OSDTN engages, equips and empowers Veterans transitioning from successful military service to civilian life. The organization helps Veterans who have just out-processed, as well as those who completed their service years ago.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

OSDTN aims to assist Veterans in making healthy transitions from their military service to civilian lives and to prevent Veteran suicide and homelessness. OSDTN provides and connects Veterans and their families with comprehensive resources focused on transition, employment, housing, benefits, peer engagement, volunteerism and connection to the community.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Clinical Services: OSDTN provides transitional housing for 42 homeless men and women Veterans. Our program utilizes a home setting to provide a safe, structured, and secure environment. Our goal is to mentor Veterans who are experiencing life-controlling situations and to empower them in rebuilding their own foundations and support systems. Circumstances may include addiction, legal issues, education obstacles, and employment barriers. Supportive Services: Through our Veteran Service Center, OSDTN provides a wide variety of services for ALL Veterans and their family members. Services include: Legal Aid, VA Benefits Counseling, Financial Coaching, Basic Needs (Food, Shelter, Personal Care Items, Clothing and Transportation), VA Home Loan Workshops, Military Records Assistance, Notary Services, Project Healing Waters, Reboot Combat Recovery, Sounds of Acoustic Recovery, Life Skills Programs, Computer Resources, Networking Opportunities, Family Support and Service Referrals. Career Services: Career Services helps Veterans who have just out-processed from the military, as well as those who completed their service years ago with job placement assistance, computer training, résumé development, professional development workshops, interview preparation, and budget counseling. Thrift Store: The 12th Avenue Thrift Store, located next to the OSDTN Nashville office, has three goals: 1) Offer quality products of used clothing, furniture, household items and small appliances for sale to the general public generating revenue to be a self-supporting entity and providing support to OSDTN’s programs to assist Veterans; 2) Operate a job-training program to provide employment training for Veterans; and 3) Provide clothing, coats, shoes, etc. for eligible OSDTN Veteran clients at no cost to them.
