The Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) has made the elimination of homelessness among veterans a top priority. VA's "no wrong door" philosophy will ensure homeless Veterans and Veterans at risk of homelessness will have timely access to appropriate programs and services. Informing the public about the availability of assistance for Veterans is essential to the success of this initiative. If you encounter a Veteran who is homeless or at risk of homelessness, strongly encourage him/her to make the call. Assistance is also available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year via online chat link at https://www.va.gov/homeless/outreach.asp
