The Problem of Homeless Women Veterans

According to the US Department of Veterans Affairs, 6,500 (5%) of the 130,000 homeless vets on any given night are women. Female veterans are twice as likely to become homeless as women who never served in the military, the government's latest data show.

"Women veterans are one of the fastest-growing segments of the homeless veteran population," says John Driscoll, who heads the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans.

According to official reports, there are nearly 500 homeless veterans of both sexes living in our area. There are also many uncounted homeless veterans living in the wooded areas in and around the cities of Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill. Our volunteers have spoken with them.
