A new women and minority veteran outreach program funded by King County veterans and human services levy is now available. It is a service of Community Psychiatric Clinic and the YWCA of Seattle, King and Snohomish counties.

The goal is to assist women and minority individuals who have served in the military and their families to access benefits, services, and other resources for which they may be entitled.

Through relationships with veteran-serving agencies, outreach specialists can connect those who have served in the military with a variety of resources. Many people who have served do not think they qualify for any services. If you have served in the military in any capacity you may be eligible.

You do not have to have served in combat or served out of the country to qualify for some veteran benefits. There are other services available which veterans may not know how to pursue such as housing options, vocational benefits and training, educational benefits, Medicaid, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Social Security, drug/alcohol and mental health treatment.

Workers can help veterans access needed resources and will meet with you at a location convenient to you. This service is completely without charge.

If interested please contact our workers at 877-611-8462.
