Housing for Homeless Veterans | housing

Homeless veterans are people who have served in the armed forces and are currently without proper accommodation. Contrary to public perception, this type of homelessness isn’t exclusive to the US alone and isn’t a new phenomenon either. Lack of economic stability and economic hardships were among the major factors that led to the explosion of this phenomenon in the post-Vietnam War period. In addition, veterans from more recent conflicts were also affected. The US Department of Veteran Affairs states that most homeless veterans in America are predominantly male with only a small number of them being, in fact, female.
