U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki and U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan announced that $75 million will be used to provide permanent supportive housing and VA case managers for 10,000 homeless veterans.
Approximately 10,000 rental assistance vouchers will be provided to assist homeless veterans across the United States.
"No one, especially veterans who have faithfully served our country should become homeless," Shinseki said.
The housing assistance program will allow veterans to rent privately owned housing. The VA will also provide eligible homeless veterans health care services. More than 100,000 homeless veterans access VA health care annualy.
