Meet Jason Legler, the community resource specialist for veteran outreach and community support for the Idaho Division of Veterans Services.

1) How long have you been the community resource specialist for the Idaho Division of Veterans Services and what are a few of your duties?
I have been a community resource specialist for a little over three months now. As the community resource specialist in Northern Idaho for Veterans Outreach and Community Support (VOCS) of the Idaho Division of Veterans Services. I look to help veterans who fall outside of traditional benefits. With an area that covers 10 counties, I look for and encounter veterans who need assistance. In Kootenai County alone, there are just under 20,000 veterans. One strategy to meet veterans’ needs is to work with communities to establish veteran outreach centers.
