Homelessness among U.S. Veterans

About this book

"The challenges facing military veterans retuning to civilian life in the United States are persistent and well documented. But for all the political outcry and attempts to improve military members' readjustments, veterans of all service eras face formidable obstacles related to mental health, substance abuse, employment, and--most damningly--homelessness. Homelessness Among U.S. Veterans synthesizes the new glut of research on veteran homelessness--geographic trends, root causes, and the effectiveness of interventions to mitigate it--in a format that provides a needed reference as this public health fight continues to be fought. Codifying the data research from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) campaign to end veteran homelessness, Jack Tsai links disparate lines of research to produce an advanced and elegant resource on a defining social issue of our time"--Publisher's description.
