No one who served in uniform should ever struggle to find a home. If you know a Veteran who is homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness, call the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at 877-424-3838.
This is a problem we can solve together. For more information on how you can help fight Veteran homelessness, visit VA.gov/homeless.
