Rep. Stripp: New Website Helps Veterans Cut Through The Clutter

HARTFORD- State Representative John Stripp, who represents Easton, Weston and Redding in the Connecticut General Assembly, alerted local veterans to a new resource that will help locate available services and benefits.

“There are thousands upon thousands of websites that offer benefits for veterans,” Rep. Stripp said. “This new service helps veterans and their families cut through the clutter and find the services they need.”

The National Resource Directory, established by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, Department of Defense, and Department of Labor, helps veterans and their families navigate the more than 10,000 web sites offering services for veterans.

The site www.nationalresourcedirectory.gov is broken down into easy-to-navigate headings: Benefits and Compensation, Education and Training, Employment, Family and Caregiver Support, Health, Homeless Assistance, Transportation and Travel, and Other Services and Resources.
