We work to achieve our mission by promoting collaboration, shaping policy, building service capacity, ensuring accountability, & managing a national hotline. We've build a tight-knit web of almost 200 members and 1700 local service organizations across the country who are addressing the needs of veterans at-risk of & experiencing homelessness.

We'll continue this effort because it is unacceptable to leave even a single veteran outside the wire.
