The Navigation Center

Military Community Connections (MCC) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded in 2015. MCC leaders have combined experience working with veterans and their families who are having difficulties transitioning into the community for over twenty-five years.

In 2018 the city of Charleston asked us to open our doors to the general public. We did so and the Military Community Connections 501 (c)3 organization was renamed The Navigation Center. Military Community Connections is now a division of The Navigation Center.

We help veterans, homeless people, families and mentally ill and addicted people navigate a very complex ecosystem of Gov’t and NFP organizations. The Navigation Center conducts a complete intake and assessment to identify all factors leading to or impacting our clients. TNC is able to work with each client to develop an appropriate plan to address not only the presenting need, but to ensure that they are able to eliminate the underlying causes.

There are more than 30 + of organizations in our community that may provide services needed by our client. Each has its own rules and procedures. As you might expect these rules and procedures can be very confusing and frustrating particularly for those in crisis. Additionally, there are also many minor and sometimes major gaps in services needed to help those in need to reestablish their independence. This means people need a guide, advocate, coach and a cheerleader to successfully navigate this maze. This is what the people at The Navigation Center provide.
