Interagency and Cross-Cutting Initiatives to End and Prevent Veteran Homelessness

wreath-laying ceremony at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Ending homelessness community by community is not something VA is working on alone. Every day we partner with others to extend our reach to Veterans experiencing homelessness, including with agencies at the federal, state and local levels. We collaborate with the White House and federal partners directly and through the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH), and with city governments and mayors on targeted efforts to end Veteran homelessness.

Get In Touch

We’re always looking for new ways to connect with others and secure more commitments to end and prevent homelessness among Veterans. Email us to get in touch and get involved.
