Alameda County Housing and Community Development Department’s Post

Progress that has been made in reducing veteran homelessness shows that with significant investment and political will, we can reduce homelessness, even among those with a history of mental illness or substance use disorders. Here in Alameda County, for example, veteran homelessness has decreased by 5% from 550 in 2022 to 524 in 2024. Read our Housing Plan to explain how we plan to tackle this problem at: www.achcd.org/reports. And leave your comments on the plan here: https://lnkd.in/gC8f-z6G. While overall homelessness has increased nationwide since 2009, veteran homelessness has fallen by half. Since 2008, Congress has spent billions of dollars providing rental assistance, in the form of housing vouchers, to homeless veterans. Vouchers come with no conditions; services such as drug treatment or mental health care are offered but not required. https://lnkd.in/g_97WF_b
