The National Call Center for Homeless Veterans
is the latest in a series of initiatives to help homeless Veterans. Last year, Shinseki launched a campaign to eliminate
homelessness among Veterans within five years. Since then, the number of Veterans homeless on a typical night has dropped
18 percent.
“This
reduction was achieved through VA’s commitment to end homelessness among Veterans through enhanced collaboration
with other federal, state, faith-based, Veteran service organizations and community partners,” Shinseki said. VA has approximately 4,000 agreements with community partners to help homeless Veterans. Last year, more than
92,000 homeless Veterans were served by VA’s specialized homeless programs. This is an increase of 15 percent
from the previous year.
