Wounded Warriors (Texas 501(c)(3), EIN 86-1336741, IRS ruling year 2021) today announced that its open-data veteran-resource directory now indexes 12,828 verified veteran-serving resources across California — the largest state-level coverage in the organization's 56-jurisdiction footprint.

California hosts approximately 1.7 million U.S. military veterans, the largest state veteran population in the country. Wounded Warriors' California directory at warriorsfund.org/state/california surfaces resources across Los Angeles (625), Glendale (570), Van Nuys (468), Burbank (363), San Diego (313), San Francisco (173), Sacramento (159), and dozens more cities — every record geocoded to FIPS-tract precision and URL-health monitored daily.

California-specific resources include 9 VA Medical Centers (West LA, Long Beach, San Diego, Loma Linda, San Francisco, Palo Alto, Sacramento, Fresno, Mather), 88+ Community-Based Outpatient Clinics, 31 Vet Centers, all 58 California County Veterans Service Officers, plus VA-accredited claim representatives, mental health providers accepting VA Community Care, HUD-VASH and SSVF housing programs, and DVOP/LVER employment specialists at every California EDD office.

The state landing page also cross-links to six topic-specific subpages (Mental Health, Housing, Employment, Healthcare, Claims Help, Crisis Support) and to neighboring-state directories (Arizona, Nevada, Oregon) for veterans living near borders.

California donors recommending grants from DAF portals should search EIN 86-1336741. The organization holds the Candid 2026 Platinum Seal of Transparency and is independently rated by Charity Navigator.

California is the bellwether: 1.7 million veterans, the most CVSOs of any state, the highest concentration of homeless veterans, and the most aggressive state-level supplemental benefits stack. If our directory can serve a California veteran navigating SSVF rapid-rehousing in Oakland or HUD-VASH at Westwood, the methodology generalizes to every state.Dillon Parkes, Founder & Executive Director, Wounded Warriors
