Veterans Services

Veteran issues are community issues.

No matter the branch, character, or length of service, Opportunity Council strives to ensure those that have served our country are seen and supported in the communities we serve.

Through individual support and case management, we work with Veterans and Veteran families to navigate systems and access the resources and support they need to thrive in the places they call home.

We make every effort to connect Veterans with available resources. Please contact us to find out more.
