Veterans Homelessness

After a year living in his car, Air Force Veteran found support through a transitional housing and support center and the HUD-VASH program.

This month, VA staff across America will volunteer in the PIT Count to help end homelessness.

Hundreds of homeless Veterans are now off the street in Los Angeles. Between October and December, LA VA and partners housed 705 Veterans.

From working with surface-to-air missiles to sleeping in his car, Army Veteran found help, health care and a home thanks to VA services.

A chat with a Veteran at a food bank led this Marine Veteran to the HUD-VASH program. It improved his living conditions almost overnight.

“Being homeless is like going to hell and back,” said Warren Miller, an Army Veteran who experienced homelessness for many years until connecting with staff at the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System’s West Los Angeles campus. This is the story of how Miller went from unhoused to housed, thanks to a new and unique collaboration. 

Veteran disability claims, homelessness and COVID-19 vaccines were topics VA Secretary Denis McDonough spoke about during a press conference Oct. 20 in Washington D.C.

When this Marine Veteran was homeless, VA found him a home. After a house fire, VA was there again with programs for senior Veterans.

VA is ready to assist Veterans who are facing housing crises by directing them to programs operated by VA’s Homeless Programs Office.

Every Veteran across the country should have quick and easy access to primary health care. In reality, Veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness are more likely to use emergency services for health-related issues. To reduce barriers that prevent these Veterans from accessing quality health care that meets their unique needs, VA created Homeless Patient Aligned Care Teams (HPACTs).

Homeless Veterans and families in Hawaii have help on the way. Millions of dollars in grants have been awarded to curb Veteran homelessness.

Temporary bans on evictions and other tenant and homeowner protections implemented during the pandemic are set to expire. Following are a list of resources for Veterans.
