We still have a long way to go, but we will not stop until every veteran has a safe, stable place to call home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"315\" height=\"560\"\nsrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_Dpr-t1kfjo\"\ntitle=\"YouTube video player\"\nframeborder=\"0\"\nallow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\"\nallowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2010, President Barack Obama announced a nationwide push to end homelessness among veterans, an ambitious goal that advocates hailed as a turning point in outreach efforts to struggling veterans. That included better tracking of the number of homeless veterans, since that data had not been monitored on a reliable basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time, federal agencies estimated that as many as 74,000 were without stable housing on any given night in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness Director Jeff Olivet said that the steady decrease shows that \u201cwith the right investments in housing and health care, and with strong leadership and coordination across government, homelessness is solvable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So far in 2024, VA has awarded more than $800 million in grants to help veterans experiencing homelessness. In recent years the department has also expanded legal services for veterans without stable housing and eased eligibility rules for veterans to receive assistance before facing homelessness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The full point-in-time count report from HUD, which shows trends on homelessness among all Americans, is expected to be released in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kathryn Monet, CEO of the National Coalition of Homeless Veterans, said the latest numbers are encouraging news for homeless advocates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe return to decreases in veteran homelessness estimates reflects the power of community work, the impact of housing-focused interventions, and the tenacity we see every day from organizations on the front lines of responding to this emergency,\u201d she said. \u201cThese results remind us that when we come together with the intent to create systemic change, we can improve access to housing for veterans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veterans currently experiencing homelessness or related financial problems can contact the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.va.gov\/homeless\/\" target=\"_blank\">National Call Center for Homeless Veterans<\/a> at 877-424-3838 or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.va.gov\/homeless\/\"
