Blog of the Day: Remembering Heroes without Homes
FACETS executive director Amanda Andere writes about homeless veterans in her latest blog on Patch.
Did you know that 10 percent of those considered chronically homeless are veterans?
FACETS executive director Amanda Andere raises awareness of the plight of homeless veterans in her latest blog on Patch. Andere writes about Joe, a homeless veteran studying at Northern Virginia Community College. With the help of FACETS, Joe now lives in supportive housing, has earned his degree, and is now employed.
"As we honor our veterans this Memorial Day, we must find solutions to our vexing issues that prevent us from helping our nation’s homeless heroes so that we can welcome more of them home," Andere writes.
