Veteran Services

The Lakeshore Regional Entity (LRE) takes pride in its specialized programming dedicated to helping area Veterans find stable housing, access to physical and mental health services, locating military paperwork to achieve benefits.


The LRE dedicates a “veteran navigator” to facilitating requests; understanding each request is unique and deserving of personalized attention. Our Veteran Navigator, Autumn Hartpence, comes to us from the Air Force, and shares a passion for helping the community’s veterans by partnering with a network of community-based service providers.


For questions or inquiries, please contact Autumn at 231-260-0721.
