Other duties include:

• Develop and maintain active professional relationships with entities in the community that regularly encounter veterans experiencing homelessness, such as VA programs and facilities in Los Angeles and Long Beach, Veterans Service Organizations, hospitals, law enforcement, courts, faith-based and community organizations, credit unions, consumer credit counseling organizations, colleges and universities, community colleges, public health agencies, public social services offices, and elsewhere.
