Open House Events
Our Open House events bring resources directly to Veterans at our outpatient clinics throughout greater Los Angeles. These serve as a one stop shop for Veterans to access all VA benefits, with the Veterans Benefits Administration and the National Cemetery Association on site. In addition, we partner with local Veteran Service Organizations, Veteran-centered nonprofits and other community groups.
For more information or if you’re interested in participating, please email us at vhaglaoutreach@va.gov.
VA 101 Events
Our VA 101 events are crash courses on all the VA benefits options available to Veterans. Our mission is to provide the critical information Veterans need to get connected to the many resources they’ve earned and deserve. We bring these sessions to all outpatient clinics to reach Veterans across Greater Los Angeles.
For more information or if you have any questions, please contact us at vhaglaoutreach@va.gov.
