Family Readiness
War fighter readiness begins at home — support, resources, and opportunity for the families who hold the home front together.
Veterans of California believes that taking care of the veteran comes with taking care of the war fighter. The quality of life within the military home boosts war fighter effectiveness — and, in parallel, increases defense readiness. This page serves as our family readiness hub, connecting spouses and families with the resources they need to thrive.
