That figure has dropped in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VA officials said since the start of 2022, department programs have helped nearly 192,000 veterans and family members avoid losing their homes because of financial reasons. They have also seen about 93% of the individuals placed in permanent housing remain in solid financial standing one year later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monica D\u00edaz, executive director of the VA Homeless Programs Office, credited increased partnerships with local organizations for helping officials better reach and aid veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe need is there. I don\u2019t think the need among veterans has changed,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I think that need will continue to be prevalent. But if veterans have trust in the system and can come to us for help, that is a success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finding affordable housing for veterans remains a challenge, Diaz said. Veterans Affairs officials will work in the future to find additional ways to partner with landlords and rental companies to expand those options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Veterans seeking help with homelessness or related financial problems can call 877-424-3838 for help or visit the <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.va.gov\/homeless\/\" target=\"_blank\"><i>department\u2019s web site<\/i><\/a><i>.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Department outreach efforts have helped nearly 80,000 veterans since the start of 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":107015,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":19,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[101,7,23,12,25,67,19],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3226],"class_list":["post-69460","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-education-transition","category-home","category-news","category-newsletters","category-pentagon-congress","category-veterans"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"RN56X6PIVNGZDGOQHHYNP7MAQI","arc_canonical_url":"\/veterans\/2023\/11\/29\/va-again-found-homes-for-38k-struggling-vets-in-2023\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
