Welcome to the
League of Veterans
Arizona

The League of Veterans Military Transitional Housing Initiative addresses a pressing issue faced by many veterans: the difficulty of transitioning from military to civilian life, which often results in homelessness. Our commitment is unwavering as we strive to provide our service members with the information, access, and resources they truly deserve upon returning home.

​

We are dedicated to facilitating a smooth transition from military life to civilian status and ensuring that affordable housing is available for all those who have served.

Current News 

On May 23, 2025, Secretary Collins and Secretary Hegseth signed a memorandum of understanding to enhance collaboration between the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of Defense (DoD). The primary goal is to ensure that service members transitioning to civilian life receive comprehensive support, particularly in accessing health care and benefits.

“Together, DoD and VA will take the bold steps needed to provide the leading, high-quality, and accessible healthcare, services, and benefits that our Service members require to succeed in and out of uniform.”
