Tennessee Just Made it a Lot Easier to Find Veterans Support
Governor Bill Lee and Tennessee Department of Veterans Services Commissioner Tommy Baker have officially launched the Veterans Connect Portal - a new statewide platform built to help service members, Veterans, and military families cut through the noise and actually find the support they've earned. The portal is live now at tnveteransconnect.tn.gov and is available to all of Tennessee's more than 430,000 Veterans, no matter where they live in the state.
The Veterans Connect Portal brings together services across employment, healthcare, housing, education, and community programs into a single, trusted destination - so instead of piecing together resources from a dozen different agencies and organizations, Veterans and their families have one clear starting point. The platform also helps Veteran Service Organizations, local governments, and agency partners better coordinate with each other and follow through on connecting individuals to the services they need.
The portal launched in recognition of Armed Forces Day and reflects the state's pledge to honor military service not just in words - but in action. If you or someone you love has served, this is worth bookmarking today. More Info
