homeless veterans
Soldiers without shelter
Homeless veterans are former military service members who lack stable housing.
The term appears frequently in policy discussions and charitable appeals, highlighting the perceived irony that those who served their country may end up living on the streets: The organization provides transitional housing for homeless veterans.
The phrase often carries implicit criticism of inadequate support systems for those returning from military service.
