🚨 Addressing the Dual Crises: Veterans and Homelessness 🚨 Our brave veterans deserve more than just gratitude; they deserve comprehensive support that addresses the serious challenges many face. Two critical issues stand out: homelessness and incarceration. Homelessness: A staggering number of veterans find themselves without stable housing. This is not just a statistic—each number represents a person who has sacrificed for our freedom but is now struggling to secure basic needs. Incarceration: The transition from military to civilian life can be challenging, and some veterans find themselves caught in the criminal justice system. This isn’t just a legal issue—it’s a call for better support systems, mental health care, and reentry programs. What Can We Do? Advocate for Comprehensive Support Services: Push for policies that ensure veterans have access to housing, mental health care, and job training. Support Reentry Programs: Promote initiatives that help veterans reintegrate into civilian life successfully and avoid incarceration. Raise Awareness: Share stories and information to educate others about the challenges veterans face and the solutions we can support. Let's come together to honor their service by ensuring they receive the support they truly need. Every veteran deserves a safe home and a chance at a fresh start. 💙🇺🇸 #Veterans #Homelessness #SupportOurTroops #CommunityCare

For the #EFMP advocates out there, how does a remote job working primarily #militaryfamily issues sound? The DoD southeast region state liaison job is open until 17 June at the link below. https://lnkd.in/gaD7HRHE While most #military #specialneeds issues are worked at the the federal level, quite a few are affected by state law. In addition #militaryspouse employment and the governing interstate compacts are driven by state #advocacy. #Veterans and #transitioningmilitary should apply if they have a passion for helping our #milspouse, #veteran, and #exceptionalneeds / #disability community. Note: Picture of my son’s communication device.

Safe storage and responsible ownership. Small steps like a simple cable lock can make all the difference.

Are we finally removing barriers for our veterans? HUD’s recent policy changes are a game-changer for veterans seeking supportive housing. By excluding service-connected disability benefits from income calculations, HUD-VASH will expand access to housing for those who truly need it. This ensures our veterans no longer have to choose between their deserved benefits and essential housing support. HUD has also allocated $20 million to public housing agencies to bolster these efforts, providing more resources for veterans experiencing homelessness. Every veteran should have a secure place to call home. This is a significant step toward ending veteran homelessness and ensuring no one is left behind. #VeteranSupport #HomelessnessPrevention #HUDVASH #HousingForVeterans #RealEstateForGood
