The number of veterans in homeless shelters dropped by 10 percent last year according to new data released by federal researchers on Monday, but officials warned the count may have been lowered by complications related to the coronavirus pandemic.
Even so, members of Congress hailed the news as another key step forward in their stated goal of providing stable housing for every veteran in America.

Problem is there are some who prefer being homeless. Plus they may have died based on what I'm hearing from my VA.

SGT (Join to see) - Unfortunately You are correct as a Dispatcher downtown You quickly learn that Many are Drug Addicted and One of the Requirements for Temporary Shelter is that they be Clean and they'd Rather Remain Homeless.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL This is good news and we can only hope that less veterans are homeless. And for that matter, a reduction in homeless for all people.
