The Cook County Department of Veterans Affairs (CCVA) was established in December 2012 to serve as a dedicated resource and advocate for all Cook County veterans, military members and their families. CCVA empowers those who have served in any branch of the military by providing access to a robust network of support services, educational workshops and informative newsletters. CCVA ensures the military community can thrive by leveraging existing skills and earned benefits for a higher quality of life.
