A new bill to make VA letters more decipherable clears the House committee.

After returning home from service, Navy veteran Jennifer Badger began using drugs to cope with the sexual harassment and assault that she experienced in service. It wasn’t until she was connected with a residential rehab program through the VA that she was able to receive the care she needed to address her past traumas. Residential rehabilitation for PTSD and substance use disorder is a hallmark of VA mental health care. However, the VA reports that only about 13 residential rehabilitation centers provide gender-exclusive care and services, and fewer than half of all residential domiciliary facilities have separate dorm space for women veterans—accommodations that are essential to ensure the safety and comfort of women. #SubstanceUseDisorderMonth

DAV is grateful for the dozens of local organizations that attended the 2024 DAV Homeless Stand Down in support of DAV’s mission to keep the promise to America’s veterans. During last week’s event, veterans who are experiencing homelessness or are at-risk of homelessness were able to access legal, educational and employment resources while enjoying a hot meal in a welcoming environment. A special thank you to Cincinnati VA Medical Center and all of the sponsors, vendors and volunteers who helped us make nearly 200 veterans feel appreciated, welcomed and remembered for the day. To all the veterans who attended – thank you for your service! You are loved and are always welcome at DAV. #WorldHomelessDay
