veteran homelessness
Servicemembers without shelter
Veteran homelessness refers to military veterans living without stable housing—on streets, in shelters, or in transitional facilities.
The term frames homelessness among veterans as a distinct policy problem, since veterans face particular challenges including combat-related trauma, difficulty transitioning to civilian employment, and gaps in VA services.
The city launched a new initiative to address veteran homelessness.
