Veterans

One-quarter of the homeless population are veterans.

Veterans often become homeless as they face challenges in re-adjusting to civilian life. Post-traumatic stress and other mental and emotional conditions are common in veterans returning from combat, but many are not identified and treated. The inability to cope with these conditions, coupled with the difficulties in re-assimilation, often lead to a downward spiral that can result in homelessness.
