AMVETS CHARITIES RELOCATES HEADQUARTERS
AMVETS Charities is relocating its national headquarters from Washington , D . C ., to Washington , PA , and will also provide transitional housing for veterans in crisis .
The organization purchased the former Laboratory Elementary School in South Strabane Township for $ 269,500 to establish the AMVETS Charities Family Services Center , offering housing and services to veterans and their families . Additionally , AMVETS is buying Beth Israel Synagogue to serve as its new headquarters . Washington County was chosen due to its high veteran population and lower living costs .
The Family Services Center aims to keep families together , offering career and legal counseling , and is expected to be operational within a year . The synagogue will undergo renovations to house offices , meeting spaces , an American veterans museum , and an AMVETS Memorial Park . The program aims to hire local veterans and integrate positively into the community .
