Veterans Day Campaign New Media Campaign from the Alliance to End Homelessness:
Ending Homelessness Among Veterans
The brief, which was released on November 10 - one day before Veterans' Day - details changes in homelessness among veterans since 2005. The update also highlighted federal programs available and policy changes needed to prevent and end homelessness among veterans.
The release of this brief was a key opportunity to better inform local and national reporters - and through them, our local and national communities - about key policy proposals and your local efforts to address this critical issue. The Administration has already vowed to end homelessness among veterans in 5 years, and there are several legislative proposals in Congress to support that commitment.
By working together, we can generate enough media coverage to push policymakers to protect and honor those who served our country. The campaign was designed to help us ensure that all veterans have access to stable housing and the necessary supports to avoid homelessness. Click Here for more information on this campaign.
