VA's Fiscal Year 2024 Homelessness Goals
On March 14, 2024, VA announced its Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 goals for preventing and ending Veteran homelessness. Specifically, from October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024, VA will:
- Place at least 41,000 homeless Veterans into permanent housing.
- Ensure that at least 95% of the Veterans housed in 2023 do not return to homelessness during the year.
- Engage with at least 40,000 unsheltered Veterans to help them obtain housing and other wraparound services.
Progress Update
From October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024:
- 47,925 Veterans were permanently housed, representing 116.9% of the goal. VA met this goal and will continue to ensure that homeless Veterans are connected to the housing resources they need.
- 96.0% of the Veterans housed remained in housing at the end of the FY. 1,930 Veterans returned to homelessness, representing 4.0% of the Veterans housed. VA is monitoring this goal closely to ensure that Veterans stay housed or are re-engaged by VA services if they return to homelessness.
- 42,064 unsheltered Veterans were engaged, representing 105.2% of the goal. VA met this goal but is monitoring it closely to ensure that unsheltered homeless Veterans are connected to the housing resources they need.
View these results by race, ethnicity, gender, and age.
VA hosted a monthly Office Hours Call Series to support communities in achieving this goal. Recordings of these calls will be posted here.
