Paralyzed Veterans of America
Overview

Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) is a congressionally chartered veterans service organization founded in 1946 by veterans of World War II. The organization's mission is to serve the needs of disabled veterans, particularly those with spinal cord injuries or diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), by helping them live more independently and with dignity.

Structure and Services

PVA operates with 33 chapters and 70 National Service Offices across the United States and Puerto Rico. Its programs and services include:

  • Medical Services and Health Policy: PVA works to improve the quality of care in Department of Veterans Affairs Spinal Cord Injury and Disorders Centers (SCI/D) across the country. They conduct site visits, develop clinical practice guidelines, and operate a hotline for SCI/D issues.
  • Veterans Benefits: Assistance with VA claims and appeals is provided to any veteran, family member, or caregiver. PVA's National Service Officers are experts in veterans' law and VA regulations, helping to secure benefits such as service-connected compensation, home health care, and specially adapted housing.
  • Veterans Career Program: This program offers career assistance and vocational counseling to transitioning service members, veterans, military spouses, and caregivers. It operates in several locations nationwide and focuses on helping those with barriers to employment, such as catastrophic injury or illness.
  • Sports and Recreation: PVA promotes sports and recreation activities for veterans to enhance their physical and mental well-being.
Funding and Governance

PVA is primarily funded through individual donations and corporate sponsorships. The organization does not meet certain standards for charity accountability as per some evaluations due to financial management practices and governance issues[1][3]. Despite this, PVA remains a prominent advocacy organization for disabled veterans.

Impact and Recognition

PVA has been recognized for its commitment to supporting veterans with significant barriers to employment. It was a finalist for the Wounded Veteran and Military Caregiver Employment Award by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Hiring Our Heroes program[2].
