Are you looking for help with something?

It can be extremely challenging to navigate the programs and services available to support veterans because there are so many available––and they are offered by hundreds of different organizations, many with unique eligibility criteria, focus areas, and missions. This page includes few veterans’ services access points in Massachusetts; you can also visit our Shared Calendar for local events.

Brighton Marine launched Coordinated Veterans Services as pilot program in 2017 to build a local network of military- and veteran-focused service providers in the Greater Boston area and develop a coordination center and referral system utilizing the Unite US technology platform.

Unite US expanded its network in 2021, increasing access to health and human services for all. Unite Massachusetts is now a broader coordinated care network of health and social service providers serving Essex, Middlesex, Suffolk, and Norfolk counties in the areas of:

• housing and food security;

• mental health support;

• education programs and scholarships;

• employment assistance and licensing;

• benefits navigation;

• legal and financial aid; and

• volunteer and community engagement opportunities.

The form below is an access point for the Unite Massachusetts network. Information submitted below is transmitted directly to Coordinated Veterans Services and is safely and securely maintained by the relevant service provider(s). Response time may take up to 48 hours.

The Veterans Collaborative does not provide direct services to individuals and will not have access to information submitted through this form. You can follow up with Brighton Marine at 617-903-3107.

Are you a service provider?

Unite Massachusetts network partners are supported by a Massachusetts-based Unite Us team focused on community engagement, network health and optimization, and customer success. Partners in the network connect through Unite Us’ shared technology platform to send and receive electronic referrals, address people’s social needs, and improve health across communities.

The ultimate vision of state networks is to build the digital infrastructure and common ecosystem needed to connect health, human, and social care providers and eventually allow for redistribution of dollars from healthcare to social care spending so that social care and human service providers can be reimbursed for the services that they provide and ensure people receive the services they need.

Community-based organizations and many organizations that are considered part of the safety net (community health centers, tribal clinics, mental health centers, etc) can join the Unite Massachusetts network at no cost. The network isn’t limited to organizations focused on serving the veterans community––those who do are part of the Coordinated Veteran Services network.

Unite Massachusetts is sponsored by Merrimack Valley Accountable Care Organization My Care Family. The My Care Family is a Massachusetts Medicaid Accountable Care Organization comprised of partner organizations Greater Lawrence Family Health Center, Lawrence General Hospital, and AllWays Health Partners.
