HOUSING & SUPPORTIVE SERVICES FOR VETERANS

From 2012 to 2017, Veteran homelessness declined by 47 percent, thanks to concerted and collaborative efforts at the federal level. In 2015, the release of Criteria and Benchmarks for Achieving the Goal of Ending Veteran Homelessness set baseline expectations for the system practices and efficiencies needed to ensure that Veteran homelessness in any given community is rare, brief, and non-recurring.
