The Arkansas Department of Veterans Affairs (ADVA) opened its District 3 office Wednesday in Mountain Home with several local and state officials in attendance.
The new office, located on the Arkansas State University Mountain Home campus, is part of the ADVA’s first long-term strategic plan set for 2015 to 2020. The plan was approved by Gov. Asa Hutchinson in June. According to the agency, Mountain Home is part of District 3, which includes nine counties home to more than 23,600 veterans — 5,559 in Baxter County alone.
ADVA’s purpose is to serve Arkansas veterans, and their eligible dependents, through advocacy and education to
access federal and state benefits, high-quality long-term nursing care and burial honors. Wednesday’s ceremony marks the third of eight new district offices. ADVA says its 
goal is to bring agency veteran services closer to the veterans and the counties they serve. Until now veterans from across the state seeking assistance from an agency veteran service officer, or ADVAcate, had to travel to North Little Rock.
