How will implementing the PABI Plan create over 5,000 jobs for veterans and/or their families?
The overall seven-year budget for the PABI Plan is approximately $2.9 billion. This will create over 6,000 jobs across every state and territory with over 5,000 of these positions designated for veterans or family members of veterans.
The lack of programs for Young Veterans with Traumatic Brain Injury is disheartening. SJBF and PABI want to change this.
