This Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2027-2031 articulates the Texas Veterans Commission's commitment to advocating for and providing superior services to significantly improve the quality of life for Texas veterans, their families, and survivors. The plan is organized around three primary goals: assisting veterans with receiving all due benefits and services through effective advocacy and training across nine program areas; funding direct services to veterans by providing grants to community non-profit organizations and local units of government for general assistance, mental health, housing, and veterans treatment courts; and ensuring effective administration of the Hazlewood Act Exemption Program. The Commission aims to deliver quality, comprehensive, and accessible services through a dedicated workforce and strong partnerships, adapting to the evolving needs of the state's veteran population.
