The new partnership will bring an array of services to three trolley stations monthly through October.

Veterans Affairs and MTS are partnering in San Diego to help veterans in the homeless community connect with services. KPBS military and veterans reporter Andrew Dyer has more.

At the Old Town Transit Center, representatives from the VA helped veterans enroll in VA healthcare and connect to other services. The VA's Mobile Medical Unit — a large van outfitted with medical equipment — offered veterans medical exams from the unit's primary care team. Other community organizations were also on hand to help people in the homeless community—not just veterans. Miguel Gonzalez oversees MTS' homeless outreach team and said he wants people to know that MTS can also connect them with services.
