Veteran Partnership
Brentwood School helps Veterans through its longstanding partnership with the VA.
The school provides extensive services that Veterans rely on. From a daily shuttle around the West LA VA complex and a full athletic facility with trainers, to numerous classes, thousands of meals, and scholarships for children of Veterans, Brentwood's partnership with the VA is of daily value. The rent Brentwood School pays stays local and is used for priorities at the West LA campus.
The VA’s mission is enormous and collaboration with community partners, such as Brentwood School, is integral to its success.
“Brentwood School is uniquely positioned to offer veterans and their families on the West LA campus substantial opportunities for physical recreation, health and wellness, education, and vocational training as well as direct community service and increased revenue. As such, the Committee is supportive of VA continuing the Department’s long-standing community partnership with the Brentwood School...”

Award-Winning Support for Vets
In August 2023, Brentwood School’s partnership with the VA was recognized with a national award by the VHA National Community Partnership Challenge, “an annual event recognizing outstanding partnerships that advance the health and well-being of Veterans and their communities.” The VA National Community Partnership Challenge selected the collaboration between WLA VA and Brentwood School, US Vets, Village for Vets, and AyZar Outreach for launching and sustaining the Care, Treatment, and Rehabilitative Services (CTRS) program at WLA VA.
The Need for Housing
The Need to Support Veteran Housing
The men and women who have served our country deserve housing, and the need in Los Angeles is dire.
That's why Brentwood supports VA’s housing initiatives. We have supplied move-in kits with kitchen, bathroom, and living room essentials for the more than 275 homes now open on the VA campus (buildings 205, 207, 208, 209, and 671 MacArthur Avenue), so Veterans would not move into empty spaces. Beyond its lease obligations, Brentwood School donated $200,000 to help fund the Care, Treatment, and Rehabilitative Services (CTRS) at West LA VA, a program that helps Veterans transition from unhoused to housed.
