At the local level CAVSA and its members apply our resources to conduct a qualitative and quantitative review of the availability of local services for veterans. We seek to determine whether and to what degree local mental health plans and other services address veteran needs. We also seek to determine how those plans impact county veterans in the real world.
CAVSA agencies conduct ongoing advocacy at the local level through participation in local veteran and non-veteran coalitions and service providers to insure veterans have an effective voice in local services policy and funding.
