Homelessness
The New Mexico Veteran Business Outreach Center is keenly aware of the challenges facing veterans as it relates to homelessness.
An estimated one-third of the adult homeless population have donned a uniform and served in the military. The VA estimates that roughly 131,000 Veterans are homeless on any given night, with perhaps twice that experiencing homelessness at some period over the course of a year. Many other Veterans are considered near homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
The VA is taking decisive action to end Veteran homelessness in five years. All Veterans at risk for homelessness or attempting to exit homelessness must have easy access to programs and services including Prevention, Housing Support, Treatment, Employment and Job Training.
If you are a Veteran who is homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, you can contact the National VA Call Center at 1-877-424-3838, or contact VA online through the Homeless Veterans Chat Service.
We want to encourage you to live up to your heritage! You were employed by the greatest military in the world, received the best training in the world and you have served proudly. Please don’t let anything get in your way of getting the assistance and benefits you richly deserve!
