Strengthening Our Military Family
Who We Are
At the Armed Services YMCA of Hampton Roads, we recognize the challenges of military life, especially in an area with the largest concentration of military in the nation. That’s why we’re devoted to nurturing the well-being of the Hampton Roads military community and all five branches of service. We are based in Virginia Beach and have satellite services at Sewells Point Elementary School in Norfolk, Lincoln Military Housing Norfolk Crossing Community Center, Norfolk and Lincoln Military Housing Naval Air Station Oceana Community Center in Virginia Beach.
Comments
Service members and veterans may be able to get their school debt forgiven because of temporary changes to a program designed to forgive student loans for people who work in government or nonprofit jobs.
But the benefits are not automatic for most people. That means to take advantage of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, those eligible for the program need to act -- and soon.
