For many female veterans, the transition from military to civilian life is filled with challenges—financial instability, difficulty accessing resources, and the struggle to feel connected to their communities. More than 1,300 female veterans reside in Greensboro, and Combat Female Veterans Families United (CFVF) utilized Nurturing Equity funding to support these women, tackling these challenges head-on.
