Homelessness Comes To An End In Connecticut!

Could you imagine seeing a person that was so thoughtless of their own happiness in order to protect those around become homeless? Well, this is the sad outcome of what our country has amounted to. In 2014, President Obama declared that by the end of 2015 the U.S. should be able to house all veterans. This yielded no results as we are still seeing homeless veteran’s asking for help and they sit out the cold winter.

In this epidemic to end further suffering for those that helped give us our freedom, the federal government has certified Connecticut as the second state to effectively end homelessness among veterans. Their goals is to have government, state and federal agencies work together with non-profit providers to build a lasting system to continually identify homeless veterans and provide stable, permanent housing within 90 days.

Connecticut has helped preserve, rehabilitate or build more than 15,000 units of affordable housing. Connecticut placed 766 veterans into housing last year! Thumbs up Connecticut! Team work always ends in success!
