After almost a decade of effort, Arlington County has effectively ended homelessness for military veterans, officials said Thursday, part of a national effort to house those who have no place to live.
The small, urban suburb just across the Potomac River from Washington is the second community that has shown it has no more homeless vets than it can house in any given month, said Adam Gibbs, spokesman for the Community Solutions. The D.C.-based non-profit is the organizer of the national effort to end homelessness that was launched by the Obama administration in 2010. Seventy-five communities are participating.
