Today, IAVA joined Mayor Gavin Newsom to launch San Francisco’s Veterans 311 Portal. This innovative, one-stop shop combines resources provided by the VA, federal, state and local governments, and nonprofit organizations specifically for veterans in the Bay Area. The online hub includes information about jobs, economic development programs, educational opportunities and information on the New GI Bill from IAVA’s NewGIBill.org, as well as healthcare and mental health resources.
“Mayor Newsom is leading and innovating in a way that other local leaders are not. His leadership on the Veterans 311 Portal should serve as the standard for other cities across the nation. IAVA was thrilled that Mayor Newsom and the city of San Francisco were so receptive to this idea when we proposed it to them this spring and are excited to be a partner in this effort. We look forward to working with other mayors and elected officials across the country on similar initiatives aimed at improving access to resources for veterans in their local communities,” said IAVA Founder and Executive Director Paul Rieckhoff.
