This month, we’re joined by Jill Albanese, Senior Advisor and Director of Clinical Operations with the VHA Homeless Programs Office to learn about VA’s One Team approach.

Ms. Albanese talks about how homeless response systems operated prior to the One Team approach, what the approach is, and why it’s critical to end Veteran homelessness.

Veterans who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness are strongly encouraged to contact the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at (877) 4AID-VET (877-424-3838) for assistance.
