Advisory Board on Veterans Services

The Advisory Board on Veterans Services advises the Office of Veterans Services on programs supporting Hawaii's veteran population, including healthcare access, employment, education benefits, and housing assistance. It reviews state veteran service programs and recommends improvements to address gaps. The board also advises on coordination with federal VA resources available to Hawaii veterans.

Hawaii has one of the highest per-capita veteran populations in the nation, and this board's recommendations shape what state resources are available to veterans and their families. Veterans and their advocates can engage by attending meetings and presenting concerns directly to the board.
