The county offers assistance to Monroe County’s 8,000 veterans, military personnel, survivors, dependents and family members, as well as congregate meals and nutritional support programs for senior citizens, Special Transportation Services, low-income housing and weatherization funding, in-home and respite services, and more.Veterans can find more information at www.monroecounty-fl.gov/va.
