Veterans are more likely to experience homelessness than the general population, with 12.3% of the homeless population being veterans compared to 9.7% of the general population. Some factors that contribute to homelessness in veterans include:

Lack of affordable housing
Poverty
Job or income loss
Mental illness
Substance abuse
Health problems
PTSD
Lack of family and social support networks
Military occupations and training that are not always transferable to the civilian workforce.

Veterans who are homeless or at imminent risk of becoming homeless can call the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at (877) 4AID-VET (877-424-3838) for assistance.

The VA also offers the Grant and Per Diem (GPD) Domiciliary Care for Homeless Veterans (DCHV) Program, which provides residential care for sheltered and unsheltered veterans with multiple challenges, illnesses, or rehabilitative care needs.
