Board of Supervisors Approves Supervisor Wagner’s $250,000 Allocation to the Veterans Legal Institute

(Santa Ana, CA) – At Tuesday’s Board of Supervisor’s meeting, the Board approved Supervisor Don Wagner’s allocation of Third District discretionary funds to the Veterans Legal Institute.

“I am delighted that this gift of $250,000 to the Veterans Legal Institute has been approved by my board colleagues,” said Supervisor Wagner. “As veterans across Orange County struggle with housing and obtaining their well-deserved benefits, the Veterans Legal Institute supplements the work of our Orange County Veterans Service Office by delivering coordinated, community-based legal care that reaches veterans early, before issues become crises. This allocation of Third District discretionary funds fills a vital funding gap for services that our veterans desperately need, and I am proud to provide this relief.”

Since taking office, Supervisor Wagner has been a vocal advocate for Orange County’s veteran community, spearheading the effort to establish a Veterans Cemetery in Gypsum Canyon, as well as making services more accessible to Orange County veterans.
