On the night of the 2025 Point-in-Time count, homeless service providers had enough available and dedicated permanent housing beds for nearly half of all veterans experiencing homelessness. In comparison, according to The Shortage report, there were only enough permanent housing beds for 9 percent of all people experiencing homelessness.
Policymakers and providers have used dedicated permanent housing resources to cut Veteran homelessness in half since 2010. With expanded investment for veterans, they can finish the job of ending homelessness for all people who have served our country.
These same kinds of investments would achieve similar results for the broader homeless population. Simply put, when homeless service providers receive more resources, they serve more people in need.
