The City of Fort Worth has increased its efforts to support local veterans by launching a dedicated "Resources for Veterans" page on the city's official website. The new online resource, which went live on FortWorthTexas.gov/Veterans, aims to help veterans, active service members, and their families connect with a variety of local services and organizations designed to assist them.
Highlighted on the webpage are connections to dozens of local nonprofits, government entities, and vet-specific organizations functioning across critical areas like business opportunities, employment support, assistance with VA claims, healthcare services, and financial guidance, including tax exemptions. This initiative is a part of Fort Worth's commitment to bolster the veteran community within the city. The resource page was announced following the establishment of the city's first-ever veterans' affairs officer, a role dedicated to advocating for local military members' needs and their families.
"Fort Worth is committed to serving and supporting the brave men and women who have served our country," said Veterans Affairs Officer Joaquin Castillo, as per the City of Fort Worth. He continued to express the city's intention, saying, "We want our veterans to know that we are here to help them find and utilize the resources they need to live a high quality of life in our community."
Veterans and their families seeking guidance or support can reach out directly via email to [email protected]. The City of Fort Worth invites this valued community to utilize the services provided and ensure that they receive the deserved assistance, this initiative is a part of Fort Worth's broader mission to deliver tangible benefits to those who've served the nation and make their transition into civilian life as seamless as possible.
