Homeless Veterans

No Veteran Should Be Without a Place to Call Home

VA is committed to ending homelessness among Veterans. Our focus is threefold:

• Conducting coordinated outreach to proactively seek out Veterans in need of assistance.
• Connecting homeless and at-risk Veterans with housing solutions, health care, community employment services and other required supports.
• Collaborating with federal, state and local agencies; employers; housing providers, faith-based and community nonprofits; and others to expand employment and affordable housing options for Veterans exiting homelessness.
