健康方面，选民2024年通过的第1号提案包含64亿美元行为健康债券，用于退伍军人与无家可归者的住房、服务与治疗；2022年设立的加州退伍军人健康倡议，目标是三年提供10万次免费心理健康预约，不问年龄、服役时期、退役类别或伤残等级，截至2026年10月，参与机构每季度平均提供5,500多次免费临床预约。州政府另投入470万美元，改善退伍军人参加迷幻药辅助治疗临床试验的机会。

加州退伍军人事务局局长 Lindsey Sin 说：「退伍军人及其家人值得拥有一套理解他们经历与需求、并支持他们一生的照护系统。在纽森州长的领导下，加州在扩大住房、医疗、应得福利与长期护理方面取得了实实在在的进展。」退伍军人服务信息可在加州退伍军人事务局网站 calvet.ca.gov 查询。

Newsom Marks Veterans Day With California Investment Rundown: Over $10.5 Billion Since 2019 for Nearly 1.5 Million Veterans
California — On Veterans Day, November 11, the Office of Governor Gavin Newsom released a rundown of California's support for veterans since 2019: more than $10.5 billion invested across state government in housing, mental health care, long-term care and benefits access, serving the nearly 1.5 million veterans who call California home and their families. The release was issued from Antalya, Türkiye, where Newsom was traveling.
"California has more military bases, more active duty, among the largest National Guard, and one of the largest veteran populations in the nation, and we're determined to show up for each and every one of them," Newsom said. "From expanding housing and healthcare to protecting hard-earned benefits, we've made significant investments to strengthen the systems that serve our veterans and their families. This work is about more than what we've accomplished today. It's about building a California that continues to stand behind its veterans for generations to come."
On housing, the Veterans Housing and Homelessness Prevention Program has financed over 6,500 housing units, including 3,418 designated for veterans; 57 Homekey+ projects have created almost 3,000 affordable homes, with over 800 reserved for veterans; and the CalVet Home Loan Program has helped nearly 450,000 veterans purchase homes. A new pilot program pairs permanent supportive housing with nursing care, behavioral health services and medication management for veterans aged 55 and older who are homeless or at risk.
On health, Proposition 1, approved by voters in 2024, includes a $6.4 billion behavioral health bond for housing, services and treatment. The California Veterans Health Initiative, established in 2022, set a goal of 100,000 free mental health appointments over three years regardless of age, period of service, discharge status or disability rating; as of October 2026, participating organizations were averaging more than 5,500 no-cost clinical appointments each quarter. The state is also investing $4.7 million to improve veteran access to clinical trials for psychedelic-assisted therapy.
On long-term care, the eight CalVet-operated Veterans Homes serve more than 1,500 residents, and the CalVet Electronic Health Record system has been deployed across all eight homes. A new 240-bed skilled nursing and memory care facility is under construction at the Veterans Home of California-Yountville, replacing the current Depression-era building.
On benefits, the statewide assistance network helped file more than 317,000 claims in fiscal year 2025-26, generating an estimated $736 million in new or increased federal benefits; the California Transition Assistance Program has served more than 12,000 veterans, and more than 800 veterans and family members have been helped toward naturalized citizenship. On education, the statewide Credit for Prior Learning push is expected to benefit 250,000 people, including 30,000 veterans, and a new state tax break lets military retirees and surviving spouses exclude up to $20,000 of retirement income each year.
"Veterans and their families deserve a system of care that recognizes their experiences, understands their needs, and supports them throughout their lives," said California Veterans Affairs Secretary Lindsey Sin. Information on support services is available at calvet.ca.gov.
