As of August 30, 2022, VA has achieved 26,554 permanent housing placements, meeting 69.88% of the goal.
VA's homeless programs are averaging 3,319 placements each month.
To meet the goal by the end of the year, we need to continue to place 2,862 Veterans into permanent housing each month through December 31, 2022.
Achieving the Goal
To effectively achieve this goal while reducing the risk of unintended negative impacts to Veterans served or to local homeless services systems, the following guiding principles will be incorporated:
House literally homeless Veterans identified through coordinated entry processes, local by-name lists (BNL), and VA and community-partner outreach services.
Honor Veteran choice, including needs and preferences for care when determining appropriate services and housing placements. Center Veterans’ lived experience in the effort.
Lead with equity while continuing to prioritize housing resources for all Veterans.
Provide supportive services to Veterans with complex needs and/or histories of chronic homelessness through a trauma-informed, Veteran centered approach based in cultural humility.
Enhance coordination among VA homeless programs and community partners, Continuum of Care (CoC) partners, public housing authorities (PHA), advocacy groups for and made up of Veterans with lived experience, landlords, city and county officials, and other service providers.
VA is hosting a bi-weekly Office Hours Call Series to support communities in achieving this goal. Recordings of these calls will be posted here. Check back often for more updates and information.
