More work ahead to help homeless Veterans

VA permanently housed more than 50,000 homeless Veterans in fiscal year 2025, but there is much more to be done. We’re hard at work implementing President Trump’s executive order to establish the National Center for Warrior Independence for Homeless Veterans at the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center.
