- Summary:
- This report documents the outcomes of Veterans served by the Veterans Homelessness Prevention Demonstration program (VHPD), one element of the Obama administration's signature initiative to end Veteran homelessness. It describes the housing, employment, and health of Veterans before they entered VHPD and 6 months after leaving the program. It discusses the lessons learned through VHPD, strongly emphasizing how important it is to reach out to Veterans in ways that appeal to them (including peer-to-peer outreach and having Veterans on staff) and the benefits of bringing together housing assistance, case management, and employment services.
