ROCKY HILL, Conn. -- (Business Wire)
The Connecticut
Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) has unveiled a new, redesigned
website, www.ct.gov/veterans,
along with a veteran-focused mobile app, CTVeterans
Mobile Application.
The newly redesigned website covers a broad range of services and
support for veterans. On the agency homepage, users will find navigation
directed to several of the most commonly accessed veteran services such
as benefits, residential & recovery programs, donations & volunteering,
and programs & services. Paired with the navigation is a new topic
search feature that gives website visitors a more refined
veteran-specific, topic-based search. Users are also able to select
their personalized preference for viewing site information through list
or simple view options.
Along with the new layout and features, the redesigned website utilizes
a mobile-first, responsive design, which provides a user-friendly
experience across phone, tablet, and desktop devices. The new website
also continues to make services more accessible for online visitors to
conduct business with the DVA through increased usability, customer
service, transparency, and accessibility.
“We’re very excited to be revealing these two new digital advances that
will connect Connecticut veterans with the services and benefits they
have earned. We couldn’t have done this without the help of our sister
agency, the Department of Administrative Services’ Bureau of Enterprise
Systems and Technology, the folks at Connecticut Interactive, LLC, and
our great team at the DVA!” said Acting Commissioner Thomas J. Saadi.
The Connecticut Department of Veterans Affairs newly launched
‘CTVeterans’ mobile app allows Connecticut veterans and residents to
access crisis assistance by phone, text, and online chat. CT DVA
services are available through the app menu, including an interactive
map of veterans clinics and hospitals in Connecticut. The application
will allow users quick access to:
-
Crisis assistance by phone, text message, and online chat

“The CTVeterans mobile app is a very important mobile application
offering for the state of Connecticut veterans and their families,” said
Paul VandenBussche, General Manager of Connecticut Interactive, which

veterans with access to the services and support they need accessible
from anywhere.”
