Interview with Chaka McDonald, Veterans and Military Families Navigator for Oakland County, Michigan

If you are a veteran, a family member of a veteran, or even a friend of a veteran who might need some help, you really need to listen to this podcast. 

Chaka is a wonderful person and also a tremendous resource for the veteran community.  

He helps veterans and their families with just about any challenge you can imagine a veteran might face from housing, to education, to careers, to personal life needs.  He is your man!

He can be reached at mcdonaldc@oaklandCHN.org or by calling 248-764-4443.  

One of his key suggestions is to not wait until the situation has become critical.  If you feel that he can help you, reach out to him.  He predominately is supporting veterans in Oakland County, Michigan but he can either help you or refer you to another navigator in one of the other counties in Michigan.  

By the way, Michigan and Texas are the only states that have navigators so take advantage of this opportunity.  

Thanks again to Chaka for taking the time to participate in this interview.  I am sure that you will gain a lot of valuable information from it.  

Good luck.
