The VA's goal of ending veterans homelessness by the year 2015 is an ambitious goal.
I am also concerned that we are not taking adequate steps to address special populations, such as homeless woman veterans.
My question is: It seems that further reduction in homelessness will become increasingly difficult as the more severely mental ill and substance-dependent veterans are treated and housed.
