Alexa served twelve years in the marines; $4,200 would cover a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment.

Silas served twelve years in the marines and was discharged in 2023 with post-traumatic stress. He has been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote comes to $4,200.
Silas is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $4,200 goes:
• Training provider fees: $1,100
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,150
• Transport to appointments: $480
• Essential household items: $470

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Silas.
Training provider fees is $1,100 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
