VAPIHCS: Housing All Veterans
Posted on Feb 18, 2025 in VAPIHCS Veterans
No Veteran should be homeless in the country they fought to defend. VA is committed to ending homelessness among Veterans because it is our nation’s duty to ensure all Veterans have a place to call home. No matter where homeless Veterans are sleeping or in what community they’re living, VA’s mission has not changed. We’re here to serve Veterans because they served us.
VA is implementing a comprehensive and proactive action plan to support Veterans impacted by current and future closure of encampments of unhoused individuals across the nation. This plan aims to support unsheltered Veterans living in encampments by:
- Providing them with same-day access to interim housing
- Connecting them to all necessary supportive services to obtain and maintain permanent housing
- Preventing them from entering the criminal legal system
To accomplish these aims, this action plan intends to build upon existing strategies that support coordination with local agencies and encompasses three main national actions:
- Develop and maintain a nationwide inventory of current and future encampment closures
- Activate local response teams
- Disseminate national strategies to inform local action
More information about these national actions are available at www.va.gov/Homeless/Encampments.asp.
