4 Veteran Homeless Services Offered by the Dept of Veterans Affairs

The Department of Veterans Affairs is trying to do their part in ceasing veteran homelessness by offering homeless veterans assistance in the form of a wide variety of services. From health care services to referrals for homeless veterans' shelters, the VA's free resources and programs are far-reaching and greatly needed.

4 Services from VA to Help Homeless Veterans

The Department of Veterans Affairs made a collaborative decision to end America's veteran homelessness problem by providing easy access to services and programs: 

• Homeless Prevention - to prevent the homeless crisis from escalating, the VA offers a national hotline for homeless veterans, the Veterans Justice Outreach program that's aimed at avoiding unnecessary criminalization, and the Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program that offers low-income veterans with support services.
• Housing - a variety of services are available to provide housing, permanently or temporarily, in one of the many national homeless veterans shelters.
• Healthcare - the VA's Healthcare for Homeless Veterans helps displaced veterans locate and assess VA healthcare services for which they may be eligible.
• Job Training - veterans can receive payment while being trained with new job skills by using the VA's Compensated Work Therapy/Transitional Residence Program.
