With Veterans, Service Members, And Their Families

The Los Angeles County Department of Military and Veterans Affairs supports veterans, service members, and their families by guiding them through federal and state benefits, including compensation, pensions, education, medical care, home loans, funeral benefits, and license plate designation. Our licensed Veterans Service Officers also provide referrals for mental health and substance use care.

We are headquartered in Bob Hope Patriotic Hall, a 10-story facility offering conference rooms, auditoriums, gymnasiums, industrial kitchens, and banquet halls available for rental through the Warrior Heritage Foundation.
