Ending Homelessness Among Veterans
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2012-11-15/ending-homelessness-among-veterans
An estimated 60,000 veterans are homeless today, but the Secretary of Veterans Affairs has made a dramatic pledge to drop that number to zero by 2015. To achieve that goal, the VA is working with local nonprofit groups that already have ties to landlords and jobs in the community. We examine new "rapid re-housing" and prevention programs for veterans in our area, and explore why young female veterans are increasingly at risk for homelessness -- and what's being done about it.
