Every day, there are tens of thousands of homeless veterans across the country in need of a stable home.

Now new preliminary data just released by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) shows progress has been made, with the rate of veteran homelessness dropping 11 percent since 2020.

The VA said it’s down 55.3 percent since 2010.

“The statistics are very encouraging, and I think it’s evident of the VA’s commitment to end veteran homelessness,” said David Kurtz, Executive Director of Veterans on the Rise.
