Veterans

Unhoused People

Describe the challenge you want to address:

The scarcity of veteran resources. Veterans aren't given the support they need economically which affects their way of life & comfortability of housing. Most of the people who do not have permanent homes are veterans. Veterans are isolated & should have community, not be isolated or live in fear!

What is the solution to the challenge?

For the housing lottery, department of housing should send a list out of available homes to shleters. This would happen twice a year & the shleters would mark whose a veteran. That way, they could accurately update data on the percentage of veterans with housing problems. Additionally, a small compensation check should be given as a small token of gratitude and the increase of community centers being availabel to veterans (workshops).
