The Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs (ODVA) provides direct access to earned benefits and services to nearly 300,000 Oregon veterans and their families. ODVA conducts advocacy for traditionally underserved veteran communities. They build partnerships with organizations to provide veteran-specific services for sustainable and supportive housing, access to health and behavioral health services and services to assist veterans in completing their educational goals. ODVA has three major program areas: aging veteran services, the veteran home loan program and statewide veteran services, plus core operations to support and enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of each division.​
