Help Get The Word Out About Help For Homeless Veterans
Hi Everyone… We need your assistance to get the word out in your communities that we will have additional HUD/VASH vouchers available to house those Veterans in our 4 county catchment area (Macomb, Oakland, St. Clair and Wayne). In order to qualify for priority for this program the Veterans need to meet the criteria to be considered chronically homeless: experienced homelessness for at least 1 continuous year or on at least 4 separate occasions in the last 3 years. We are trying to reach the most vulnerable Veterans who need subsidy for housing and case management services to get them and keep them off the streets. We are having no trouble identifying homeless Veterans but we are having trouble reaching those who meet the chronically homeless criteria. That is where we need your assistance.
Together we can end homelessness among Veterans by 2015.
