Having a Home for the Holidays means the world to those dwelling inside. For some, the risk for being on the street is all too real. In a wonderful turn of events, one Army Veteran went from the brink of homelessness to a warm, loving home for herself and her children. Malcalisha Jefferson shares her story with WCCO CBS Channel 4 in this heart-touching segment.

As the number of women in military service continues to rise, so does the need to help those impacted by homelessness. Right now, only 12% of those helped by MACV are women. The organization believes there are still more female Veterans they need to connect with.
