Veterans' Services Office Mission Statement

The mission of the Fairhaven Veterans' Services Office is to provide eligible veterans and their families, who are residents of Fairhaven, with financial and medical assistance in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 115 and CMR 108. The Veterans' Services Officer (VSO) is an advocate for Fairhaven’s veterans and their dependents.

Additionally, your VSO provides referrals and assistance with housing, alternate sources of income, such as Social Security and the VA, employment and educational opportunities, fuel assistance programs, area food banks and shelters. We are committed to ensuring that the veterans of Fairhaven and their families receive the assistance that they are eligible for and to encourage them to seek permanent, life-long solutions to their needs.

The Fairhaven Veterans' Services Office also establishes appropriate veterans' memorials, provides burial allowances for eligible veterans and is responsible for the marking, flag placement, and identification of all veteran graves in this town.
