National Coalition for Homeless Veterans

Congress is raising the pay of active duty military personnel by 2.9 percent for their basic substances like food, rent,and anything that has to deal with school (Gina). To add to that veterans get paid on the 15th of the month so that they don 't have to go all month without pay (Gina). The VA (which is a government program that assist veterans) assist veterans with college funds so they can get jobs when they return from war (Aid for Military families). They also help with home loans, life insurance, and any rehabilitation that the person needs when they return from war (Help a Homeless veteran). Here is some ways that you can help. Just about the easiest way for you to help any vet is to donate to organizations like The Wounded Warrior Project, an organization that helps wounded vets with life any services that they need (Veterans charity service organizations). Other ways you could help vets or service men is to donate care packages and a letter, but if you are really in the mood to help them you could help charities build houses for them (Anderson). I think ultimately the best way that you could help them is to stand behind, support and thank them for laying down their lives on the line for…

audience of veterans, I realized my future accounting degree could combine my career with a valuable cause. After previously taking a high school finance course, I wanted to major in accounting. However, it was not until I participated in the 2015 National Memorial Day Choral Festival that I knew how to use it to serve those who have already served. When my choir director revealed the 2015 trip destination, I was overjoyed in anticipation of experiencing the nation’s capital for the first time…

Homeless Veterans With approximately one-fourth of the homeless population belonging to the veteran population (Burt, Aron, Douglas, Valente, Lee & Iwen, 1999), there is a need to determine how this specific group can be helped. By doing so, there is a possibility that homeless individuals from the general population can be helped as well. Cunningham (Aug 2009) emphasizes that working to eliminate homelessness in veterans may be part of the solution to ending homelessness in the United States.…

Then as you drive away you feel guilty knowing you could’ve helped someone out. Yupe that’s me,…

I have always wondered why people end up on the streets homeless. In Africa where I spent much of my formative years, people used to rely so much on each other to the extent of taking care of a relative or relatives who may be needy. But that has changed over the years due to the high number of needy relatives, especially orphans of the HIV/Aids scourge. The dreaded epidemic ravaged most 3rd world countries leaving a trail of homeless children who later grew into homeless men and women. Having…

the budget that will reduce or eliminate funding for programs for the homeless population will cost Illinois more money in the future. According to the report by the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, “cutting homeless prevention and intervention programs will result in increased costs for hospital emergency departments, hospital inpatient settings, community health centers, jails, and state hospitals”. These interventions not only cost more money, but do no help in breaking the cycle to end…
