Veterans

We have an opportunity to streamline the process for applying for veteran benefits, including housing, medical, and healing services. The Nygren Administration will collaborate with our veteran warriors who believe their interests are not currently being addressed and heard, and we will do better. We will focus on challenges facing veterans:

• Housing
• Medical needs
• Benefits
• Jobs
• Training
• Transportation

We can accomplish this by creating a model Veterans division at the Window Rock level that will lead the way for efficiency in delivering government services. It will be led by a division director who will listen and work with veterans.

We acknowledge both veterans and those currently serving abroad and understand that our Navajo men and women serve in the military at a much higher rate per capita than any other racial group.
