The challenges facing military veterans who return to civilian life in the United States are persistent and well documented. But for all the political outcry and attempts to improve military members' readjustments, veterans of all service eras face formidable obstacles related to mental health, substance abuse, employment, and — most damningly — homelessness. Homelessness Among U.S. Veterans synthesizes the new glut of research on veteran homelessness — geographic trends, root causes, effective and ineffective interventions to mitigate it — in a format that provides a needed reference as this public health fight continues to be fought. Codifying the data and research from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) campaign to end veteran homelessness, psychologist Jack Tsai links disparate lines of research to produce an advanced and elegant resource on a defining social issue of our time.

In 2009, the Department of Veterans Affairs committed to ending veteran homelessness by the end of 2015. Significant steps have been taken to get our heroes the services they need with, roughly, 50,000 fewer veterans experiencing homelessness than a decade ago. However, there is still much work still to do. Congress has continued working to improve the variety of Federal programs that currently exist to support homeless veterans. This includes permanent housing, transitional housing, prevention services, treatment, and employment programs.

In 2009, President Obama and Secretary Shinseki committed to ending homelessness among Veterans. In support of that effort, the Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness 2010 developed by the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) established as one of its goals to prevent and end homelessness among Veterans in five years. An understanding of the epidemiology of homelessness among Veterans and the methodological strengths and weaknesses of this evidence base may inform program-planning efforts and future research needs. Understanding the risk factors for homelessness among Veterans and how these risk factors compare to the general population is important in developing identification and prevention programs for Veterans at risk for homelessness. This report was requested by VA Central Office and The National Center for Homelessness Among Veterans as part of that effort to identify what is known and what is not known about the prevalence of homelessness among Veterans, and about the risk factors for homelessness among Veterans, including risk factors related to military service and incarceration. The key questions were: Key Questions #1a. What is the prevalence and incidence of homelessness among Veterans? #1b. How has the prevalence and incidence of homelessness among Veterans changed over time? #1c. How prevalent are psychiatric illness, substance abuse, and chronic medical illness among homeless Veterans? Key Questions #2a. Which risk factors are associated with new homelessness or a return to homelessness among Veterans? How do these risk factors differ from non-Veteran populations? #2b. Have risk factors for homelessness among Veterans changed over time? Key Question #3. Are there factors specific to military service that increase the risk of homelessness, or is the increased risk a marker for pre-military comorbidities and social support deficiencies? Key Question #4. What is the relationship between incarceration and homelessness among Veterans?
