No veteran who has served and sacrificed for our country should ever go to sleep without a roof over their head. Yet, sadly, veterans are overrepresented within the homeless population. But why do veterans become homeless?
|
Untreated or undertreated mental health issues,
such as PTSD, substance abuse, depression and anxiety,
make finding stable housing difficult. |
|
Separation, divorce and other family issues are
common when a veteran is struggling to readjust
when returning to civilian life. |
|
Many veterans may not have applied or interviewed
for a job before and may face additional challenges as a result of their service. |
DAV is dedicated to helping end veteran homelessness. Learn more about how we can create a brighter tomorrow for the veterans in greatest need and get them off the streets.
