LGBTQ+ Veterans · Iowa · Free

TAVA — supports trans and gender non-conforming veterans seeking VA care and military service rights. Worth contacting for veterans needing to upgrade discharge status that was downgraded due to LGBTQ+ identity pre-DADT-repeal. VFW, American Legion, and DAV posts vary in welcome; affirming-veteran orgs help you find ones that fit. Trans veterans can change gender markers on DD-214 and VA records via established procedure. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
