Homeless Veterans
The National Coalition for Homeless Veterans is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending homelessness among veterans. According to their Web site, the “nation's homeless veterans are mostly males (4 % are females). The vast majority are single, most come from poor, disadvantaged communities, 45% suffer from mental illness, and half have substance abuse problems.”
Veterans: One-Third of All Homeless People
For the first time, three federal agencies--VA, Health and Human Services (HHS), and Housing and Urban Development (HUD)--will jointly provide funding for housing, treatment, and case management to help end chronic homelessness among veterans.
NAMI’s Missing Persons Network offers support resources for people searching for loved ones with mental illness who are missing persons.
