Genesee County Department of Veterans Services

The Genesee County Department of Veterans Services, located in downtown Flint, Michigan, provides essential support services to veterans and their families throughout Genesee County. Established to help veterans access the benefits they have earned, the department serves as a centralized resource for claims assistance, emergency aid, care coordination, and referrals to appropriate medical, mental health, and community-based services. Accredited Veteran Service Officers work directly with veterans and dependents to navigate federal, state, and local benefits while ensuring timely access to critical resources.

In addition to benefits advocacy, the department supports veterans facing trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, and readjustment challenges by facilitating outpatient counseling referrals, readjustment counseling, and group-based support services. Emergency assistance programs help address urgent needs such as housing stability, utilities, food, and transportation, including the Vets to Wellness transportation initiative. Through collaboration with healthcare providers, legal services, and community agencies, the Genesee County Department of Veterans Services plays a vital role in promoting stability, wellness, and long-term quality of life for veterans and their families across Flint and surrounding communities.
