FIRST, FIND YOUR STARTING POINT.
Choose medical care or counseling.
VA health care and Vet Center counseling have different enrollment and eligibility rules.
Applying for VA medical care
Start with enrollment questions and ask which health-care route fits your situation.

Before the first conversation
- Ask whether you need enrollment, an appointment or a referral before visiting.
- Arrange the ride separately; a map pin does not book care or transportation.
You choose whom to contact. Each program decides eligibility and what it can offer.

What this map tells you—and what it doesn’t
This is a growing collection, not every veteran service in Arizona. Locations are not eligibility boundaries. A map pin is not an open bed, a walk-in invitation or live availability. Phone and online routes matter just as much as physical locations.
Suggested first contacts are selected for their role in the process, followed by military-connected services and then community options, alphabetically. Each program decides who qualifies. Source checks are not provider confirmation; review the limits and call before travel.
Browsing does not change your guided-help answers. Save a program only when you want it in your plan.

LESS MAZE. MORE DIRECTION.
Same need. Different doors.
Knowing the difference can save a call in the wrong direction.
A place to stay
- No safe place tonight?
Ask CRRC or the VA homeless-veteran line about assessment and referral. Neither promises a bed.
- At risk of losing housing?
Ask an SSVF provider about screening. Income, household, veteran status and service-area rules apply.
- Need longer-term housing support?
Transitional housing and HUD-VASH use different referral processes. A voucher is not a same-day shelter.
Benefits & service records
- Recently left active duty?
Solid Start offers first-year transition navigation. Ask which benefits process fits; navigation does not approve a benefit.
- Start with accredited claims help
ADVS benefits counselors can explain VA claims. Navigation and claims representation are different jobs.
- Missing your service records?
Use the official records route. Ask the program what alternatives it accepts while records are pending.
- Have a discharge question?
Read the official instructions and ask qualified help about your situation. A records request and a discharge upgrade are separate processes.
- Considering a pension or a home purchase?
These are separate applications with their own requirements. Pension is not emergency cash; a home-loan COE is not lender approval.
Care & getting to an appointment
- American Indian or Alaska Native veteran?
Read the specific VA copay-exemption process, accepted tribal documentation and excluded care charges. Enrollment and exemption review are separate steps.
- Video care blocked by a device or internet barrier?
Ask your VA provider about a Digital Divide Consult. It reviews access options; it does not guarantee a device.
- VA care and Vet Centers differ
Medical enrollment and readjustment counseling have separate eligibility. Start with the route that fits the need.
- Ask about care for your situation
Women veterans and people seeking military sexual trauma care have specific navigation routes. Read the program’s access limits.
- Arrange the ride separately
DAV rides, accessible VTS transport and travel reimbursement are different services. Confirm booking and access before travel.
Work, training & education
- Looking for work?
Start with employment support; specialized veteran services have their own access rules.
- Choosing training or college?
A campus veterans team and the GI Bill application serve different purposes. Ask what is needed before enrolling or paying.
- Need disability-related career support?
Ask about Veteran Readiness and Employment. A disability rating alone does not establish every program requirement.
Families, caregivers & survivors
- Guard, Reserve or military family?
Military OneSource and Arizona Guard family readiness can explain their support routes. Access varies by service status and program.
- Helping someone with care needs?
Caregiver support and CHAMPVA have different purposes and requirements. Ask each program about the person you support.
- After a military loss
Grief support and survivor-related benefits are separate routes. You can ask for emotional support without treating it as a benefit application.
Rights, courts & reentry
- Preparing to return from prison?
HCRV specialists provide prerelease assessment and community-care connections. This is separate from court representation or release approval.
- A military-service employment question?
ESGR offers a route for USERRA employment questions. Read the limits of mediation and the official next steps.
- Involved with the justice system?
VA Veterans Justice Outreach is a support route. It does not replace legal representation.
- Ask your current court about referrals
Veterans treatment court has a distinct referral process. A veteran connection is not automatic admission.
A LITTLE PREPARATION GOES A LONG WAY
Make the next call count.
You don’t need the perfect words. Start with the need. Ask for the next step—and a backup if this route doesn’t fit.
Open your saved planFour questions to bring
- “I’m looking for help with ___. Is this the right place?”
- “Who qualifies, and what do you need from me?”
- “Do I call, apply online or come in—and when?”
- “If you can’t help, who should I try next?”
Bring only what the program requests. Don’t enter Social Security numbers, claim numbers or medical details in this page’s search.
Veteran support. The whole community behind it.
You can use general community resources too. A military-specific route is an option, not a requirement.
Built into PHX Good. Independent community navigation—not the VA, a government agency or an emergency service. Source dates and eligibility limits live with each program.
