What the paper says
We aimed to expand understanding of provider/Veteran attitudes about resources and services that would mitigate Veteran homelessness. We analyzed qualitative data from the 2024 Community Homelessness Assessment, Local Education, and Networking Groups for Veterans survey. In all, 4,990 respondents completed the survey: 2,928 (59%) homeless program service providers, clinicians, and staff and 2,062 (41%) homeless experienced Veterans. Qualitative analysis identified six key themes, which included: 1) increasing affordable, safe housing options; 2) expanding Housing and Urban Development-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing; 3) increasing access to mental health resources and services; 4) more external support and collaborations; 5) increasing financial support and resources; and 6) increasing employment and job training. Providers prioritized mental health services, while Veterans more frequently emphasized needs such as housing and financial support. Veteran homelessness is complex and needs integrated approaches to service delivery that address unique challenges and improve overall outcomes.
