GAO Report | HOMELESS WOMEN VETERANS Doubles from 2006 – Actions Needed to Ensure Safe and Appropriate Housing
HOMELESS WOMEN VETERANS Actions Needed to Ensure Safe and Appropriate Housing
The number of homeless female military veterans more than doubled from 2006 to 2010, according to new government estimates.
Acknowledging “limited VA data,” homeless female vets numbered 3,328 in 2010, according to a report by the General Accounting Office published on Monday, up from 1,380 in 2006.
The report says actions are necessary to ensure homeless female veterans get the housing and services they need.
The GAO says a lack of coordination among the Veteran’s Administration and Housing and Urban Development, two government agencies that provide housing and services to homeless veterans, is hampering efforts to help these.
“Absent more complete data, VA does not have the information needed to plan services effectively, allocate grants to providers and track progress toward its overall goal of ending veteran homelessness by 2015,” the report said.
