HOMELESSNESS AMONG VETERANS
• VA estimates that as many as 200,000 veterans are homeless on any given night.*
• More than twice that many experience homelessness over the course of a year.*
*US Department of Veterans Affairs - 2005

WHY ARE VETERANS HOMELESS?
• Male veterans are twice as likely to become homeless, and female veterans are four times more likely to be homeless as their non-veteran counterparts.
• A large number live with post traumatic stress disorders and addictions acquired during or exacerbated by their military service.
• Lack of family and social networks due to lengthy periods away from their communities of origin.
• Government money is limited and serves only one in 5 of homeless veterans in need.

SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE
One reason the Services have trouble operating jointly is
that they don’t speak the same language.
For example, if you told Navy personnel to “secure a
building,” they would turn off the lights and lock the doors.
The Army would occupy so no one could enter.
Marines would assault the building, capture it, and defend
it with suppressive fire and close combat.
The Air Force, on the other hand, would take out a year
lease with an option to buy.
