VA Launches Phone Campaign to Help Homeless American Veterans

The Department of Veterans Affairs has started a new campaign to combat the growing problem of homelessness among our United States veterans. Estimates say the problem is growing, with about 135,000 veterans spending at least 1 night in a shelter this year, and more than 75,000 considered homeless on any given night.

The campaign includes a toll-free hotline that families and community members can call to report veterans that are at risk of becoming homeless or are already in need of shelter. The number, 877-4AID-VET (877-424-3838), is a 24-hour service staffed by homeless prevention specialists. The VA's homelessness support service seeks to help veterans with housing vouchers and other permanent solutions.

The ongoing struggle to prevent and reduce veteran homelessness is something that must be overcome to provide our veterans with the appreciation and support they deserve. Aside from lack of housing, many homeless veterans are unable to meet their daily needs such as food and medical care. For a disabled veteran, this can be a serious detriment to their health and well-being.

By showing your support through organizations such as Care for Disabled Veterans you can help disabled veterans obtain the medical exams they need to qualify for disability benefits through the VA. Between monthly benefits and support from the VA's homelessness programs, we can start making a positive change in the lives of our deserving veterans.
