VETERANS CENTER OF NORTH TEXAS INC

The Veterans Center of North Texas is a non-profit organization operated and managed primarily by volunteers. The mission of the Veterans Center is to assist Veterans and their families to locate benefits, services and direct support through government, community based organizations and the Veterans Center of North Texas. The goal is to assist Veterans and their families establish and maintain productive lifestyles within our Texas communities. The Veterans Center of North Texas is headquartered in Plano, Texas and serves North Texas Veterans in Collin, Grayson, Cooke, Hunt, Fannin, Rockwall, Kaufman, Dallas, Denton and Tarrant counties. This service area includes over 300,000 Veterans.

The Veterans Center of North Texas assists Veterans with a multitude of issues and basic needs. We focus on ten primary areas of need but also help with daily household issues that result from life, in general. Our focus areas include: Health care, education, employment, transportation, financial counseling, legal assistance, community integration, services, benefits, food and clothing as well as direct assistance.

Veterans find us primarily through referral and complete an intake to assess their needs. We establish appointments with community and governmental agencies to address their needs. While the Veteran is obtaining service and support we maintain continuous contact to ensure the proper services are provided and their needs are being adequately addressed. Once the needs are satisfied and the Veteran is stable within our communities we contact the Veteran after six months to ensure all is progressing well and inquire if additional support is needed.
