Mayor’s New Veterans Resource Center Offers
‘Help on the Home Front’
Mayor Kathy Taylor and the Community Service Council of Greater Tulsa have joined together and created a consolidated source of information for Tulsa’s returning members of the military services and their families.
A military and veterans data base was developed within 2-1-1 Helpline to complement the referral services located in the directory. This one-stop number will serve as a point of entry for service members, veterans, and families who are looking for the community and veterans resources they need.
“Tulsa recognizes the sacrifices that our Guard and Reserves, veterans and their families are making,” said Mayor Taylor. Help on the Home Front will provide easy access to resources within Tulsa. As a local government, in shepherding these resources we can better support the men and women in uniform.”
The Veterans Resource Center features a website – www.tulsaveterans.com – where veterans and active-duty military personnel and family members can find helpful information and assistance in a variety of areas, as well as links to state and federal veterans affairs agencies websites.
Much of that information and assistance can also be accessed by calling 2-1-1, the Council’s community assistance hotline that also offers helpful information to all Tulsans.
The Help on the Home Front campaign provides outreach and will have printed information available at more than 40 locations throughout the city of Tulsa where veterans and their dependents are likely to see them, including U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs facilities, veterans service organizations, National Guard and military reserve unit facilities and at local community college and university campuses. Help on the Home Front will also allow veterans of prior service to access the resources they need.
