Multi-million grants, provided by Obama Administration,
may help thousands of homeless veterans get back on their feet.
On December 13, 2011 The
Department of Veterans Affairs released a national report citing the decline of homelessness in veterans. The
12% drop between January 2010 and January 2011 has helped keep the Obama Administration’s goal on track of eliminating veteran homelessness by 2015.
To continue this positive decline in the number of homeless veterans in the U.S.,
$100 million in grants is being made available to community agencies that assist homeless veterans in finding permanent residences or prevent veterans from losing their current housing. The
Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program is handling the grant distribution.
Last year the SSVF was able to provide $60 million in grants and help nearly 22,000 veterans and their families through 85 non-profit housing organizations throughout 40 states across the nation.
This year the SSVF is striving to reach nearly 42,000 with the expanded funding.
Many
disabled veterans are unable to work due to their conditions which can lead to financial trouble and eventual loss of their housing.
Applying for veterans’ disability benefits can be a step toward obtaining proper medical care as well as open doors to other veteran assistance programs.
