Women Veterans and Homelessness After Service
Women veterans are the fastest-growing demographic of homeless veterans in America today.
Far from being a well-understood phenomenon, most people would be hard-pressed to even include women veterans in the overall picture of veteran homelessness — or recognize their unique risk factors and survival strategies.
A recent six-part series in the Huffington Post aims to change that, by addressing their invisibility directly.
Homeless Veterans
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.
