Bronze Star Homes builds modular homes, ramps and sub-assemblies with universal access to improve the quality of life for our heroes: Veterans. Through our partnership with Purple Heart Homes, a national nonprofit dedicated to providing housing solutions for Service Connected Disabled Veterans, we are able to identify and assist disabled warriors in our local and surrounding communities.

Bronze Star Homes is a disabled veteran owned company that hires and trains veterans to manufacture products to help deserving veterans and the broader community. We build modular homes, additions and modular tiny homes for disabled vets and homeowners with special requirements at the lowest practical cost to the customer while delivering maximum return on investment to our stakeholders and partners. We return a portion of our proceeds to our nonprofit partners to further our impact on the veteran community while investing in our veteran employees to improve their skills and employment opportunities.

Our modular ramps are manufactured to exacting standards, meet ADA standards and can be assembled by 2 – 4 people in four hours. They are attractive treated wood products with integral handrails and include all hardware and components. Each piece can be carried by two people and assembly requires no special tools or extensive construction experience.
Our modular additions are designed to be attached to existing structures. They are ADA compliant and allow a homeowner to remain in their house while construction is taking place in our plant. On site construction time is reduced from several months to approximately two weeks resulting in less disruption to the occupants.

Our Compact Hero Homes are designed to accommodate full ADA access when required. They are built to North Carolina Modular Building Program standards and are rigorously inspected. We offer many models and we can build to suit if the customer has special requirements.

About Cohen Veterans Network
Mission & Vision

At Cohen Veterans Network, we seek to improve the quality of life for veterans, including those from the National Guard and Reserves, active duty, and their families. CVN works to strengthen mental health outcomes and complement existing support. Our vision is to ensure that every veteran, active duty service member, and family member is able to obtain access to high-quality care that enables them to lead fulfilling and productive lives.

Our Approach

Mental wounds are just as difficult to heal as physical wounds – and treating them is just as important. Through our national network of Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinics, veterans and their families are eligible for personalized, evidence-based mental health care along with access to comprehensive case management support and referrals to deal with other stresses like unemployment, finances, housing, and legal issues. Our skilled staff has experience working with our nation’s diverse population of veterans, military members and their families.
Our Care
Personalized

We offer targeted, client-centered therapy for a variety of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, adjustment issues, anger, grief and loss, family issues, transition challenges, relationship problems, and children’s behavioral problems. Our high-quality care is centered on therapy options that are the current, best practices available based on research.
Confidential

We will not share your confidential information with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or other public, private, or government entities unless required by law. We comply with federal guidelines set by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Genuine

Our skilled clinicians and staff have been trained to work specifically with veterans and their families, and some are veterans themselves. We build the trusting and confidential relationships necessary to provide excellent, personalized care.
More than Mental Health

We provide support and referrals for related needs including unemployment, housing, finance, and education. Telehealth and childcare are offered on a clinic-by-clinic basis.

About the Program
The state of North Carolina has partnered with Cisco, Amazon Web Services, NetApp, NDG, (ISC)2, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, and Onward to Opportunity (O2O), to offer CyberVetsUSA, a program that provides free training and employment opportunities to veterans, transitioning service members, National Guard and Reservists, and their spouses.

Offering the latest cyber courses and certifications from some of the industry’s leading tech companies, CyberVetsUSA is a skills-to-job pathway that aims to fast-track those coming out of the military into high-demand cyber careers.

The approximately 12- to 14-week training is primarily online and is offered by the above industry partners, who are also providing career resources and connections to job opportunities for those who complete the training and certification.

How It Works
Skills Assessment: Eligible participants who are looking to gain cyber employment in North Carolina should visit cs.co/CyberVetsUSA to submit their interest. Interested candidates can complete the interest form to receive a link to register for CyberVetsUSA. Once submitted, an enrollment advisor will reach out to determine the individual learning path and available training options.

Course Offerings: Cyber courses are available primarily as self-paced, online trainings to be completed within a 12-14 week timeframe. Depending on current skills, personal learning preference, and available time commitment, veterans will work with an advisor to pick the course that best suits them. Participants who successfully complete the program will be prepared for an industry certification and entry-level cyber positions. Training consists of the following six tracks:
Cybersecurity Operations
Network Security
Security Management
Operations/Technical Support
Software Engineering
Security Infrastructure

Veteran Support: During training, participants will gain access to mentors and virtual communities to enhance their learning experiences. In addition, career resources (including resume writing, interview techniques, and career exploration) will be made available to those who achieve a 30% course completion milestone.

Industry Certification: Once the course is completed, a free voucher is offered to the participant to obtain an industry certification for the related cyber course.

Employment Opportunities: Because employment is a key success metric for CyberVetsUSA, we want to ensure veterans have direct access to meaningful employment opportunities. Therefore, participants will be invited to join the Talent Bridge for Veterans job-matching engine, sponsored by Cisco, to build their professional profile and explore real-time job openings from hundreds of employers looking for qualified tech talent.
