Ending Veteran Homelessness
Ending homelessness among Veterans is an achievable national priority. Through innovative programming, focused local planning, dedicated resources, and enhanced data integration, many communities have made significant strides toward ensuring that Veteran homelessness is rare, brief, and one-time.
With its One Team framework, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is testing and promoting promising housing and health care approaches that are making local systems more effective, efficient, and humane for Veterans. With increasingly integrated services and broader community partnerships, our nation can continue to build on the past decade’s progress toward our common vision.
TAC works with the VA, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, states, Continuums of Care, VA Medical Centers, and community-based partners to organize local housing and services solutions, keeping Veterans’ needs at the center of all we do.
