New Vet Center Locations
To improve access to counseling for Veterans and service members, we are adding three new Vet Centers and six Vet Center satellite locations (Vet Center Outstations). Vet Center teams proactively work in the community, reducing barriers to care and improving access through one of four means:
- Utilizing one of 84 Mobile Vet Centers to conduct outreach and counseling
- Providing services in community-donated space as an access point
- Providing services in leased space where at least one full-time counselor works from a Vet Center Outstation
- As community demand increases, opening a full Vet Center with an average of seven employees
The new Vet Centers and Vet Center Outstations will be located in Arizona, California, Minnesota, New Jersey, Tennessee, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands.
Status of each of the newly approved Vet Centers and Vet Center Outstations is as follows:
