Veteran Resources

There are almost 2 million veterans in California. Many times, veterans are not aware of the many resources and benefits available to them upon their discharge from service. The California Assembly is committed to connecting veterans and their families with these services.

Whether you have been separated from service for many years, or have just recently come home, I invite you to take a look at the resources on this web page or visit one of my district offices. We will help connect you to agencies and organizations that can direct you to the benefits you've earned.

Please start by filling out a Veterans Reintegration Form. Someone from the California Department of Veterans Affairs will contact you.

You can also visit my office. A member of my staff will get you started, and provide you with a copy of the Veterans Resource Book.

I hope you find these resources helpful.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Sincerely,

Assemblymember Henry T. Perea

Assemblymember Perea Announces Funds Allocated in Governor Brown's Budget for Fresno Veterans Home

January 10, 2012

SACRAMENTO- Assemblymember Henry T. Perea (D-Fresno) has announced that Governor Brown's proposed budget has $27 million allocated for hiring staff at the Fresno and Redding veterans homes. This fully funds the Fresno veterans home.

This is an important step forward that will keep the home on track to admit the first veterans this coming fall and will allow for hiring staff in the spring of this year.

"We have all worked very hard to get the veterans home open and these funds are the result of that work," Assemblymember Perea said. "This facility will serve our local veterans well for years to come."

The California Department of Veterans Affairs is holding a job fair on January 23 to begin efforts to hire the first 70 employees.

Positions available include nursing, medicine, pharmacy, mental health services, social services, sanitation and janitorial, plant operations, grounds keeping, security, accounting and more.

Those who attend the job fair will be walked through the process of how to apply for a state job and will receive assistance in filling out State applications on computers that will be provided.
