Mission Statement
MCVET is committed to offering a military-structured, seamless continuum of care that helps veterans in need transition from dependent to independent living.

As the veterans enrolled at MCVET travel through this continuum, they receive an array of services that support our primary goal of empowering them to return to the families and communities.
