Veterans with Housing Insecurities
The VA estimated there are 500,000 homeless veterans during the year and they are able to help about 20% of them. That leaves 400,000 without supportive services. Veterans 18-30 are 2x likely as adults in the general population to experience homelessness 2/3 suffer from substance use disorder, half suffer from mental illness, many are dual diagnosed According to HUD, female veterans are 2-3 times more likely to be homeless than any other group in the US adult population Veterans tend to experience homelessness longer than their non-veteran peers. Their research demonstrated the greatest risk factors for Veterans homelessness was the lack of support and the social isolation after discharge. Social networks like shared housing is helpful for those who have a crisis or need temporary help

More than 20,000 phone calls are made to domestic violence hotlines daily That adds up to abut 10 Million women and men being physically abused by an intimate partner
People with Disabilities
People with disabilities experience housing discrimination preventing them from sustainable housing and the income necessary to meet basic needs 20-25% of those experiencing homelessness have a disability. Many shelters are not accessible to people with disabilities. Those at home with aging parents or family members are fortunate until the elder members become incapable of assisting them. Those who do reside in shelters often experience overcrowding, staff poorly trained to work with anyone having disabilities.
