BREAKING NEWS: Today, January 26, 2023, VA announced that it has exceeded its goal to house 38,000 homeless Veterans in 2022. To help us understand what this means for Veterans experiencing homelessness and housing instability, we are joined by Jill Albanese, Director of Clinical Operations and Senior Advisor with the VHA Homeless Programs Office. Ms. Albanese walks us through how many homeless Veterans were housed, how VA did it, and what’s next for our work 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.
