About the Program
The purpose of the Veterans Assistance Program is to provide needed financial awards to fellow Patriots, Veterans and their families at a time of need.
​
We understand how difficult it can be to ask others for help but there are times when we all need a hand up during a difficult time. The Department of Florida provides small grants to all Veterans and their families residing in Florida in an expedient and respectful manner.
​
In order to process your assistance request we will need the following documentation:
-
Copy of the Veteran’s Member #4 DD214 (black out Social Security Number prior to sending)
-
Copy of Individual’s photo ID
-
The invoice or bill requiring assistance
-
Filled out Department of Florida Veterans Assistance Program Application
