Our nation’s veterans have made great sacrifices for our country, yet many face severe housing needs due to disability and lack of affordable housing. In Florida, vets account for over one third of the homeless population and many veterans now returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are also at risk. In this workshop, learn about VASH vouchers, transitional housing, supportive housing, case management issues, NIMBY and the successful campaign just concluded in Seattle to raise a levy to support housing for homeless veterans.
