Bay Pines VA<\/a> will hold its annual Homeless Stand Down for Veterans at the C.W. Bill Young VA Medical Center<\/a> April 6.<\/p>\n

The event is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Veteran\u2019s Courtyard located on the Bay Pines campus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our first marquee event of the year, and we look forward to once again working with community leaders and partners to streamline access of VA programs and local resources for this segment of the Veteran population,\u201d said Bay Pines VA Director Paul M. Russo. \u201cThis event reinforces our joint community of care for Veterans, and we are proud to offer various resources that will aid unhoused and at-risk Veterans who are on their road to recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cProviding the best health care to Veterans is critical to our mission.\u201d<\/h2>\n

Bay Pines VA\u2014along with Veteran Service Organizations and volunteers from across the area\u2014will offer many forms of assistance, including medical care, toiletries, clothing items, meals, benefits and housing information, employment assistance and veterinarian services.<\/p>\n

Veterans will also be able to receive assistance through the Stand Down Court, which provides opportunities for Veterans to speak with various legal experts from Pinellas County to address outstanding legal issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cProviding the soonest and best health care to eligible Veterans in addition to serving their whole health needs remains critical to our mission,\u201d added Russo. \u201cWe will have enrollment teams in addition to staff from the St. Petersburg Regional VA Benefits office on site to discuss enrollment, eligibility and benefits with every Veteran.\u201d<\/p>\n
