STAND DOWN & STAND-DOWN DEFINED:

STAND DOWN: a) to go off duty, b) to withdraw from a contest, a position of leadership, or a state of alert or readiness 

STAND-DOWN:  one part of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ efforts to provide services to homeless veterans.  Stand-Downs are typically one to three day events providing services to homeless Veterans such as food, shelter, clothing, health screenings, VA and Social Security benefits counseling, and referrals to a variety of other necessary services, such as housing, employment and substance abuse treatment.  Stand- Downs are collaborative events, coordinated between local VAs, other government agencies, and community agencies who serve the homeless.

The 7th Annual Central NY Veterans Expo
