About Chelsea’s Veterans Services Division
Chelsea’s Veterans Services Division provides assistance in obtaining benefits from federal, state, and local programs for veterans and their dependents, as well as aids them by providing financial assistance for ordinary living expenses and medical needs. The Division also helps veterans with counseling, medical, employment and other services. On the average, we have an active caseload of about 35 recipients, whose services are about evenly divided between medical services and general support services. Additionally, the Veterans Administrator works closely with the Soldier’s Home to provide housing for Veterans in need of shelter.
