An Introduction to Veteran Homelessness, Part 3: Tools in the Toolkit

We’re bringing you a special three-part mini-series introducing you to Veteran homelessness.

In Part 3, we provide you with overviews of all of VA’s homeless programs and services.

Follow along with our helpful PDF: https://www.va.gov/hOMELESS/docs/podcast/Intro_to_Vet_Homelessness_Part3.pdf

Veterans who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness are strongly encouraged to contact the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at (877) 4AID-VET (877-424-3838) for assistance.
