LANSING — The Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs on Wednesday announced the launch of four new department websites: Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency, Michigan Veteran Homes and Michigan Youth Challenge Academy.

The department websites may be reached at www.michigan.gov/DMVA, www.michigan.gov/MVAA, www.michigan.gov/MVH and www.michigan.gov/MYCA.

The new websites are the result of a multi-year statewide website content management replacement project to update and replace over 110 executive branch websites.

“Our websites provide valuable information and services to our service members, employees, stakeholders and the communities we serve. That is why it was imperative that we remove and prevent barriers to accessibility while improving site navigation to key services so that all visitors will have a positive experience when interacting with our websites,” said U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Paul D. Rogers, adjutant general and director of the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, in a news release.

While the new department websites will leverage an updated design, some key services were improved including the MVAA benefits counselor map which helps connect Michigan veterans and their dependents to resources.

“Our new and improved benefits counselor map offers a quick and easy way for veterans and dependents across Michigan to connect with the Veteran Service officer closest to them,” said Zaneta Adams, director of the MVAA, in a news release.

“These highly trained counselors will help connect veterans to the education, financial and healthcare benefits they have earned through their service to our state and nation.”
