Veterans & Benefit

The Problem → My Policy Plan →  Outcomes

THE PROBLEM

WHAT WE'RE UP AGAINST

California veterans face long waits and complicated bureaucracy to access the benefits, housing, and healthcare they earned. Too many slip through the cracks into homelessness or untreated mental health crises.

MY POLICY PLAN

WHAT WE'LL DO ON DAY ONE, AND BEYOND

Streamline access to state and federal veteran benefits with one-stop hubs.

Build veteran-specific affordable housing and end veteran homelessness.

Expand mental health programs tailored to combat trauma and PTSD.

Fund career transition and small-business support for veterans.

Strengthen partnerships between the VA, counties, and community providers.
