The Maricopa County Veterans Resource Portal (http://www.maricopa.gov/veterans) provides consolidated information through an outward-facing, mobile friendly website to veterans and their families on programs, services and resources provided by Federal, Arizona State, Maricopa County, other local government agencies and community resources. Historically, veterans and their families had to search through many websites to find information on benefits and services. This process was cumbersome, time consuming and ineffective. The Maricopa County Veterans Web Portal coalesce all useful information into a single website that serves as a one-stop clearinghouse to link military veterans to employment, housing, legal, training and education, wellness and other services. The Veterans Resource Portal Team worked with the Office of Enterprise Technology (OET) to implement a solution for consolidating and organizing relevant information under one umbrella. The site was unveiled on November 5, 2013 during a celebration in honor of Veterans Day.
