Veterans' Services District Office and its branch offices handle applications for financial and medical assistance, arrange transportation to VA facilities, visit housebound veterans and those in hospitals and nursing homes, advise veterans on community resources, and provide assistance with housing, home loans, education and the full range of veterans benefits. In 2008, the District office assisted veterans in receiving over $34 million dollars in federal VA benefits. They serve the needs of a District veteran population of 21,500 in fifteen communities.
