Operation Welcome Home is a state initiative operating in California.











Operation Welcome Home helps California veterans successfully re-enter civilian life by connecting them to the employment, education, housing, health, and other benefits and services they have earned.
Operation Welcome Home, a first in the nation, is a collaborative program that aggressively seeks out recently-returned veterans, assesses their needs, and connects them with the federal, state, county, and community-based organizations that provide services to address those needs.
Veterans can request Operation Welcome Home assistance online or by mail.
Two to three business days later, a trained referral specialist, who is a veteran them self, contacts the individual to begin providing information and assistance. Operation Welcome Home then contacts that veteran four more times during their first year after separating from service. The goal is to help ensure each veteran is getting the services needed and is successfully moving forward in civilian life.
