This month, we are joined again by Ken Mueller, Operations Liaison for Business Intelligence in the VA Homeless Programs Office to talk about the 2024 Point-in-Time Count results.

Mr. Mueller talks about recent trends in Veteran homelessness, how Veterans compare to other Americans experiencing homelessness, and the causes for the 7.6% decrease in Veteran homelessness since 2023.

Veterans who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness are strongly encouraged to contact the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at (877) 4AID-VET (877-424-3838) for assistance.
