Why Housing First is the Key to Ending Veteran Homelessness

Homelessness among veterans is a complex problem that requires a multifaceted approach to address effectively. One of the most effective strategies for providing housing to homeless veterans is the use of Housing First models. Housing First prioritizes providing stable housing to veterans as quickly as possible, without requiring them to meet certain prerequisites or conditions, such as completing substance abuse treatment or obtaining employment. By providing stable housing first, veterans can begin to address the underlying issues that led to their homelessness and work towards long-term stability and independence.
