​For many of our returning women veterans the transition to civilian life has been difficult, often torn between family needs and being trapped outside the system.  Women veterans experiencing permanent or chronic homelessness arrive at that condition due to a variety of reasons:

• Many have never registered for benefits with the Dept. of Veterans Affairs, or have been denied benefits to which they qualify.
• Most are unemployed or underemployed and lack the skills to identify retraining or educational opportunities.
• All are unable to find affordable housing, especially those with a dependent child.​
