Massachusetts Department of Veterans' Services (DVS)

The Department of Veterans' Services helps connect veterans and their families to resources they need.

Eligible veterans and family members may get financial assistance, peer support from the Statewide Advocacy for Veteran Empowerment (SAVE) team, connection to the Women Veterans' Network, or opportunity for burial at the Massachusetts Veteran Memorial Cemeteries in Agawam and Winchendon. 

The Department of Veterans' Services also oversees the Commonwealth's Soldiers' Homes, in Chelsea and Holyoke, which eligible veterans can apply to for long term care.
