Amanda Briggs, a VA social worker who screens and requests DLA’s used military property for the Grand Rapids veterans stand down each year, assists a veteran attendee with surplus clothing. She praised surplus as a valuable tool in getting at-risk vets to interact. “If they present and identify as homeless, we can swoop in quickly,” Briggs said. “As soon as we know about them, with our resources, and at their discretion, as much as they will let us help them, we will.”
